Recent distro builds of GCC 6 enable PIE linking by default, and allow the previous behavior to be restored by passing the -no-pie command line argument. Support for this was implemented by commits1894a7c64c

but unfortunately, it turns out that GCC 5 does not support this command line argument, and exits with an error. To avoid the need for yet another toolchain tag, to distinguish between GCC 5 and GCC 6, let's use our GCC linker scripts when building objects from .aslc files. This will ensure that the extra sections that are added by the PIE linker are discarded from the ELF binary, and so they will not corrupt the resulting .acpi file. This reverts1894a7c64c

These files will be copied into the WORKSPACE's Conf directory if and only if the target files do not exist. These files may be updated frequently. The XMLSchema directory contains the EDK II Packaging XML definitions. The schema may change in the future. It differs somewhat from the early versions of the XML Schema.
