Modify exports.h to remove its dependencies on other files, thus
enabling standalone apps to require only exports.h from the U-Boot
source tree.  This appears to be the intent based on the following

U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc.
which so far are executed again and again.  On some architectures
(especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc.

This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely
reducing the number of "execve" system calls.

Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS"
(Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as:
	-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>
	-> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l

	Before: After:	Reduction:
==================================
P2020DS 20555	15205	-26%
qong	31692	14490	-54%

As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by
30...50%.

GNU Makefile have two flavors of variables, recursively expanded that is
defined by using '=', and simply expanded that is defined by using ':='.

The bug is caused by using recursively expanded flavor for BIN and SREC.
As you can see below, they are prepended by $(obj) twice.

We can reproduce this bug with a simplified version of this Makefile:
$ cat >Makefile <<\EOF
obj := /path/to/obj/
ELF := hello_world

BIN_rec = $(addsuffix .bin,$(ELF))      # recursively expanded
BIN_sim := $(addsuffix .bin,$(ELF))     # simply expanded

ELF := $(addprefix $(obj),$(ELF))
BIN_rec := $(addprefix $(obj),$(BIN_rec))
BIN_sim := $(addprefix $(obj),$(BIN_sim))

show:
	@echo BIN_rec=$(BIN_rec)
	@echo BIN_sim=$(BIN_sim)

.PHONY: show
EOF
$ make show
BIN_rec=/path/to/obj//path/to/obj/hello_world.bin
BIN_sim=/path/to/obj/hello_world.bin

All architectures but MIPS are using --gc-sections on final linking.
This patch introduces that feature for MIPS to reduce the memory and
flash footprint.

Rename STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR into CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
and allow that the architecture-specific default value gets
overwritten by defining the value in the board header file.

Commit 44c6e65 "rename _end to __bss_end__ broke building of a large
number of systems (at least all PowerPC?):

libstubs.o: In function `app_startup':
examples/standalone/stubs.c:197: undefined reference to `__bss_end__'

The rename should not be done for the files in the
examples/standalone/ directory, as these are not using the code from
start.S, but do their own BSS clearing, and either use their own
linker scripts or the ones provided by the compilers.
