An allyesconfig build creates a .text section that is so big that the
.text.init.refok and .fixup sections are too far away for the relocations
to be fixed up correctly. This patch fixes that by linking all the
relevent text sections for each file together.

Suggested by Paul Mackerras.

This still leaves us with the problem that the TOC overflows.

Dave, would something like this help as an alternative to the .fixup
change you committed recently?
