Nothing is telling GCC what CPU to compile for, so it
will just use the compiler's default, which very likely
is not what you want. =A0For files that will only ever
be used on 440, the correct flags are -mcpu=3D440 -Wa,-m440 .

We could add that to the per-file flags already, right?
I think it should really use -mcpu=3Dpowerpc on all files.
The problem that Dave saw was the result of using a compiler
that defaults to -mcpu=3D8540, which uses instruction that
don't work on 440.

The common files really need to be built with -mcpu flags that
make the code work on any system if you want to be able
to use just a single boot wrapper binary for all.
