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.

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.
Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

This patch enables the altera_spi and spi_flash drivers for the
nios2-generic board. It allows access to the EPCS/SPI flash on
the Altera EP1C20 board.

This patch adds gpio support of Altera PIO component to the
nios2-generic board. Though it drives only gpio_led at the
moment, it supports bidirectional port to control bit-banging
I2C, NAND flash busy status or button switches, etc.

This is a generic approach to port u-boot for nios2 boards.
You may find the usage of this approach on the nioswiki,
http://nioswiki.com/DasUBoot
A fpga parameter file, which contains base address information
and drivers declaration, is generated from Altera's hardware system
description sopc file using tools.
The example fpga parameter file is compatible with EP1C20, EP1S10
and EP1S40 boards. So these boards can be removed after this commit.
Though epcs controller is removed to cut the dependency of altera_spi
driver.
