This commit changes the working directory
where the build process occurs.
Before this commit, build process occurred under the source
tree for both in-tree and out-of-tree build.
That's why we needed to add $(obj) prefix to all generated
files in makefiles like follows:
$(obj)u-boot.bin: $(obj)u-boot
Here, $(obj) is empty for in-tree build, whereas it points
to the output directory for out-of-tree build.
And our old build system changes the current working directory
with "make -C <sub-dir>" syntax when descending into the
sub-directories.
On the other hand, Kbuild uses a different idea
to handle out-of-tree build and directory descending.
The build process of Kbuild always occurs under the output tree.
When "O=dir/to/store/output/files" is given, the build system
changes the current working directory to that directory and
restarts the make.
Kbuild uses "make -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.build obj=<sub-dir>"
syntax for descending into sub-directories.
(We can write it like "make $(obj)=<sub-dir>" with a shorthand.)
This means the current working directory is always the top
of the output directory.

This commit moves suffix rules from config.mk
to scripts/Makefile.build, which will allow us
to switch smoothly to real Kbuild.
Note1:
post/lib_powerpc/fpu/Makefile has
its own rule to compile C sources.
We need to tweak it to keep the same behavior.
Note2:
There are two file2 with the same name:
arch/arm/lib/crt0.S and eamples/api/crt0.S.
To keep the same build behavior,
examples/api/Makefile also has to be treaked.

All objects under post/ directory are enabled by CONFIG_HAS_POST.
(post/tests.o is enabled by CONFIG_POST_STD_LIST.
But CONFIG_POST_STD_LIST depends on CONFIG_HAS_POST.)
We can move CONFIG_HAS_POST switch to the top Makefile.

It appears that with recent versions of GCC the explicit
"-mhard-float" command line option takes precedence over the
``asm(".gnu_attribute 4, 2");'' in the source file, so this no longer
helps to avoid the warnings we get when linking code that uses FP
instructions with other code that was built using soft-float.
We can remove the ".gnu_attribute" (which appears to carry no other
information, at least so far) from the object files, but we also have
to make sure we don't pull in the __gcc_qsub() and __gcc_qmul()
functions from the standard libgcc, as these would again "infect" our
linking. We copy this code from:
gcc-4.2.2/gcc/config/rs6000/darwin-ldouble.c
This old version was chosen because it was still available under a
compatible license (GCC v2+). The file was stripped down to the
needed parts, and reformatted so it passes checkpatch with only one
warning (do not add new typedefs).

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.

As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to
better match the Linux directory structure.
Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in
MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc"
is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
scripts using this name.
