m68k: tag floating-point ABI used
This patch adds GNU attribute support to m68k and utilises it to tag the floating-point calling convention used (hard-float or soft-float). It enables the linker to ensure linked objects use a consistent floating-point ABI and allows tools like GDB to infer the ABI used from the ELF file. It is based on similar work done for PowerPC. bfd/ * elf32-m68k.c (m68k_elf_merge_obj_attributes): New function.
