This enables --enable-gold flag to be used (doesn't compile yet though).
The gold linker promises up to five times faster linking than ld, it is also possible to use link-time optimizations.
Wonder why it doesn't happen on x86 ? (maybe cause comment chars are different ?)

The value defined for ld must be the same, since otherwise one gets
effects like we had for generated PPC objects: The BFD page size was
0x10000, the ld page size 0x1000. Thus the data segment alignment forced
in the linker script didn't allow BFD to really start a new segment
(unless by accident a 0x10000 boundary was crossed as well). Hence our
libraries and executables only had one loadable segment (containing both
text and data), which neither of the three Haiku ELF loaders (in boot
loader, kernel, and userland) likes at all.
As a fix we force 0x1000 page size for target Haiku in a similar way it
is done for QNX.

for x86), so it should be placed near the .bss sections. This fixes
linkage problems -- the linker had to split the text segment after the
.plt section, which caused its pre-computed program header count to be
wrong.
* I also added the stuff concerning the .fixup and .got{1,2} sections I
found in the generic ELF PPC script. It shouldn't harm at least.

The i386-pc-haiku no longer uses the BeOS BFD target emulation, but
its own. A few things are shared for both *-*-haiku machines now.
The PowerPC Haiku binutils and gcc build, but I wouldn't expect them
to really produce usable output yet. We'll see...

cross-compiling with BeOS target works.
- tweaked build-procedure to allow for proper generation of a i586-pc-beos
cross-compiler on LINUX.
- added documentation for creation of cross-compiler.

built during the make process. Before, it was being built during the
install process, when gcc might not be available, if the install goes
into an empty folder. Now, installs in empty folders work properly.

as the default (using it) seems to generate slightly smaller results and
not break anything.

binutils 2.10.1, as the optimizer in binutils 2.11.2 fails to optimize
anything that has been produced by gcc 2.95.3.
This patch yields (much) smaller eh-sections, resulting in smaller
executables and libs.
