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.
