Vadim Bendebury 562d71faea libpayload: Do not include gcclib for mips targets
As opposed to other architectures, on MIPS gcc toolchain provided
gcclib is not always adequate, for instance when the library does not
account for the case when data segment is too large to fit into the
64K GOT.

Let's make sure the library is not included when building for MIPS
targets.

BRANCH=none
BUG=chrome-os-partner:31438
TEST=with the rest of patches applied the FPGA board boots all the way
     to verifying and loading the kernel from the USB stick.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
