... although interestingly, at least with the Ubuntu 12.10 ARM
cross-compiler, the resultant U-Boot works fine with or without this
patch. I'd have expected it to fail without this patch since it sounds
like USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC might not be honored correctly, but perhaps the
linker cmdline order works out such that the custom libgcc happens to be
picked up anyway, just not in the way intended.
