Ronald G. Minnich 4f819e8549 cbfs: fix issues with word size and endianness.
Add XDR functions and use them to convert the ELF headers
to native headers, using the Elf64 structs to ensure we accomodate
all word sizes. Also, use these XDR functions for output.

This may seem overly complex but it turned out to be much the easiest
way to do this. Note that the basic elf parsing function
in cbfs-mkstage.c now works over all ELF files, for all architectures,
endian, and word size combinations. At the same time, the basic elf parsing
in cbfs-mkstage.c is a loop that has no architecture-specific conditionals.

Add -g to the LDFLAGS while we're here. It's on the CFLAGS so there is no
harm done.

BUG=None
TEST=Build and boot for Peppy; works fine. Build and boot for nyan, works fine. Build for qemu targets and armv8 targets.
BRANCH=None

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:
