The recent binutils version introduces explicit definition of
a TOC symbol which points to the .toc section and enforces .toc
alignment to 256 rather than 8 bytes before.
For now the TOC symbol points to same location as it was before -
start of .toc + 0x8000; however as this might change, we should not
rely on that in the source code.
This changes __toc_start (for qemu and js2x boards), _got (for net-snk,
takeover, rtas) in linker scripts to use explicitely defined TOC if
defined and fall back to the older scheme if not.
This changes r2 (the register pointing to TOC) setup code not to add
0x8000 as linker scripts do that now.
Here is a bit more information about the change:
