Summary:
LLVM/Clang generates relocations that our binutils doesn't understand, but newer
binutils does. I got permission from the author of a series of patches to
relicense them as GPLv2 for use in FreeBSD. The upstream git hashes are:

With the import of clang 3.5, and a few backported patches, we should be able to
move powerpc and powerpc64 to clang-as-cc soon.
Test Plan: Passes make tinderbox, so no regressions. Binaries built with clang
run on powerpc64.

The powerpc support was the only supported architecture not prepending the elf format name
with "-freebsd" in base this change makes it consistent with other architectures.
On newer version of binutils the powerpc format is also prepended with "-freebsd".
Also modify the kernel ldscripts in that regards.
As a result it is now possible cross build the kernel on powerpc using newer binutils

x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.
Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

it should also be MI. The problem here arises when ld ends up linking a
link-once section with relocations against sections that point back to it
that are as yet unresolved. Instead of piecemeal finding sections we
think are potentially subject to this issue, just defer processing for
sections that have yet to be relocated instead of immediately bailing.
us up to version 2.17.50.20070703, at the last GPLv2 commit.
Amongst others, this added upstream support for some FreeBSD-specific
things that we previously had to manually hack in, such as the OSABI
label support, and so on.
There are also quite a number of new files, some for cpu's (e.g. SPU)
that we may or may not be interested in, but those can be cleaned up
later on, if needed.
64-bit PowerPC when linking multiple C++ files referencing the same
method, defined in a common header, when that method had a switch
statement with more than 4 cases. This change fixes compilation of LLVM
tblgen on 64-bit PPC with binutils 2.17.
Lots of help from: dim

provides a GCC configuration for 64-bit PowerPC on FreeBSD, and
associated build systems tweaks.

Binutils has a "contrib" subdirectory - thus flattening cannot happen
without renaming the upper level contrib directory in a first pass.
Also, don't record this move and remove any keyword expansion.
