I have tested this patch on the following boards / tool chains:
Tool Chain: ELDK 3.1.1 ELDK 4.0 ELDK 4.2
gcc-3.3.3 gcc-4.0.0 gcc-4.2.2
Board: binutils-2.14 binutils-2.16.1 binutils-2.17.50.0
TQM834x OK OK OK
Canyonlands NOK1 OK OK
MPC5121ADS OK OK OK
Haleakala OK OK OK
Ocotea NOK1 OK OK
NOK1: build error because old compiler does not accept "-m440" option
So I would say this looks pretty good :-)
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

That said, there may be good reasons for what you did beyond obsequi-
ous sycophantic parody. Perhaps you might be so kind as to elucidate.
