My tester reports ~22000 unexpected failures for the c6x port.  The vast
majority are due to a linker warning when the type of the .far section
changes.

It turns out we can emit two declarations for the .far section.  One
with @nobits, the other without.  And since the .far section is a bss
section the linker complains.  Those complaints are picked up by dejagnu
and thus every test that links fails.

This patch clears the SECTION_NOTYPE flag for the .far section in the
path that declares the .far section without the @nobits tag.  The net
result is we go from ~22000 failures to just several hundred (note I'm
using a dummy simulator that always signals success -- so it's not
testing code correctness, just that we can compile/link).

Committed to the trunk.
