Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

This patch is based on the port by Mihai Georgian (see linkstation.c for
Copyright information) and implements support for LinkStation / KuroBox HD
and HG PPC models from Buffalo Technology, whereby HD is deactivated at
the moment, pending network driver fixing.
Notice to users: this is pretty much a barebone port. Support for network
on HG models is already in the U-Boot mainline, but you might also want
patches to switch fan / phy modes depending on the negotiated ethernet
parameters. This patch also doesn't support console switching, booting EM
mode, Buffalo specific ext2 magic number. So, if you want to use any of
those, you need additional patches. Otherwise this patche provides a fully
functional u-boot with a network console on your system.
