[U-Boot] [PATCH] openrd: disable private arch memset, memcpy and libgcc

[U-Boot] [PATCH] openrd: disable private arch memset, memcpy and libgcc

[Albert ARIBAUD]

The switch to private LIBGCC causes 'undefined instruction'
exception in at least the Open-RD Ultimate and Client, and
quite probably the Open-RD Base as well.

While debugging this issue, it appeared the switch to
architecture-optimized memset and memcpy also causes the
same exceptions.

Until a fix to private libgcc and architecture-optimized
memcpy and memset is mainlined, disable their use in all
openrd configurations.

Implementation wise, there's two big problems here.  First, all of the
code we're talking about is a direct drop-in from the kernel.  So
whatever is wrong here is a problem that the kernel itself can trigger,
so needs sorting out and fixing.  Second, do you have more details on
how to recreate (or not recreate) these problems?

Content-wise, this is wrong.  Please run them past 'savedefconfig'.
Thanks!
