The 32-bit bootloaders on amd64 now use the 32-bit version in ficl32,
as is done with libstand32. The native 64-bit ficl will be used by the
upcoming UEFI loader.

while this won't actually be used for anything (yet), it doesn't hurt to
ensure it is exposed to the tinderbox.

a 64-bit architecture, rather than trying to share the 32-bit MIPS ficl
configuration.
When building ficl on MIPS, don't conflate 32-bit and 64-bit ISAs -- unlike
x86, we don't want a 32-bit loader on a 64-bit CPU. Use quite conservative
code generation -- e.g., softfloat, no GOT, etc -- suitable for early boot.

.. so that consistent compilation algorithms are used for both
architectures as in practice the binaries are expected to be
interchangeable (for time being).
Previously i386 used default setting which were equivalent to
-march=i486 -mtune=generic.
The only difference is using smaller but slower "leave" instructions.

often modified directory created symbolic links points to - it cause
unnecessary full rebuilds each time make runs when directory is changed.
So do it only if symbolic link does not exists, which usually means that
objdir is clean anyway.

This uses the common U-Boot support lib (sys/boot/uboot, already used on
FreeBSD/powerpc), and assumes the underlying firmware has the modern API for
stand-alone apps enabled in the config (CONFIG_API).
Only netbooting is supported at the moment.

The whole problem seems to be size. Which is odd, because it is said
that size doesn't matter. Anyway... Add -Os to strategic places in the
makefile to have the final loader be as mall as possible. This seems
to be enough to make it work. For now... I think something is more
fundamentally wrong; or something more fundamental is wrong. Potato,
potaato.
This version has a step debugger, which now completely replaces the
old trace feature. Also, we moved all of the FreeBSD-specific MI
code to loader.c, reducing the diff between this and the official
FICL distribution.
Files sysdep.[ch] are now in ${MACHINE_ARCH} subdirectory. Internal
#if's used to identify the platform where removed.
Make rule for target testmain was greatly simplified, because it was
easier simplifying it than changing it to support the new location of
sysdep.[ch].
(a repo-copy was done on sysdep.[ch], of course)
