Jacob Garber c98baa7a80 libpayload: Add compiler.h to compiler parameters
Headers in libpayload define various structs like so:

    struct struct_name { ... } __packed;

However, these header files do not include the compiler.h macro that
defines what __packed is, so they are actually defining a variable named
__packed and *not* declaring a packed struct. This leads to defining the
same variable multiple times, which was caught by GCC 10. Add compiler.h
to the compiler parameters so it is included in all files automatically.

libpayload README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

libpayload is a minimal library to support standalone payloads
that can be booted with firmware like coreboot. It handles the setup
code, and provides common C library symbols such as malloc() and printf().

Note: This is _not_ a standard library for use with an operating system,
rather it's only useful for coreboot payload development!
See https://www.coreboot.org for details on coreboot.


Installation
------------

 $ git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git

 $ cd coreboot/payloads/libpayload

 $ make menuconfig

 $ make

 $ make install (optional, will install into ./install per default)

On x86 systems, libpayload will always be 32-bit even if your host OS runs
in 64-bit, so you might have to install the 32-bit libgcc version.
On Debian systems you'd do 'apt-get install gcc-multilib' for example.

Run 'make distclean' before switching boards. This command will remove
your current .config file, so you need 'make menuconfig' again or
'make defconfig' in order to set up configuration. Default configuration
is based on 'configs/defconfig'. See the configs/ directory for examples
of configuration.


Usage
-----

Here's an example of a very simple payload (hello.c) and how to build it:

 #include <libpayload.h>

 int main(void)
 {
     printf("Hello, world!\n");
     return 0;
 }

Building the payload using the 'lpgcc' compiler wrapper:

 $ lpgcc -o hello.elf hello.c

Please see the sample/ directory for details.
