This add relocation of .got entries produced
by -fpic. -fpic produces 2-3% smaller code and
is faster. Unfortunately gcc promotes -fpic to
-fPIC when -mrelocatable is used so one need a very
small patch to gcc too(sent upstream).

-fpic puts its GOT entries in .got section(s) and
linker defines the symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ to point
to the middle of this table. The entry at _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-4
contains a blrl insn which is used to find the table's
real address by branching to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-4.

Here are some size examples for my board:
size with -fPIC
 text    data       bss     dec     hex filename
 224687  14400    24228  263315   40493 u-boot

size with -mbss-plt -fPIC
 text      data     bss     dec     hex filename
 222687  14400    24228  261315   3fcc3 u-boot

size with -mbss-plt -fpic
 text   data        bss     dec     hex filename
 225179   6580    24228  255987   3e7f3 u-boot

size with -mbss-plt -fpic -msingle-pic-base
 text     data      bss     dec     hex filename
 222091   6580    24228  252899   3dbe3 u-boot

Note: -msingle-pic-base is not supported upstarem yet.

 v2: Better commit msg
     Fix linker script for two NAND boards.
     Only compile the new -fpic code if compiled
     with -fpic to reduce size.
