[PATCH] u-boot: Ensure we use BFD as linker even if using GCC for it

[Otavio Salvador]

If we are using 'ld-is-gold' as DISTRO_FEATURE, the U-Boot Makefile has
mechanisms to ensure that we use BFD as linker. However, this does not
work for the GCC when it is used as linking tool.

To support that, we added explicit BFD use whenever we have the
DISTRO_FEATURE feature enabled.

Please queue this patch as backward if possible. We are currently using a
local fix for this, but we would like to drop this when the fix lands in
the branch.
