- Bunch of small changes to the Makefile (enabling debug symbols and fixing the dependencies for the bios).
- Fixing the or1k exception stack. This fixes the issues with the or1k locking up when using gcc.
- Extra info when the bios is booting.
Makes it easier to understand what is happening (and that the BIOS is jumping to the right place).
Debugging symbols are useful when using GDB :-)
or1k defines a 128 byte "red zone" after the stack that can not be touched by the exception handler. We also need 128 bytes to store the 32 registers.
This means if the libraries are modified for any reason, the bios will be correctly relinked.

Not just GCC, any ABI-compliant compiler (e.g. Clang) can use it.

Should I change this to The red zone is generally used for ......?

"The red zone is used for". That's its only purpose.

Well, technically you could use it for anything your heart desires... Maybe I should just remove the The red zone is used for bit and just have a link to the wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_zone_(computing) ?

Shouldn't this be merged with the bios.elf rule?
