Subject: [PATCH] bsps/powerpc: Adjust ppcboot.lds

The GNU ld had a couple of changes which resulted in a broken bootloader
image generation.  Recent linker versions tie assignments to their
nearest output section statement.  Place all absolute symbols which are
used with @sectoff relocations into a special section.
