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.

Adds the support code in cpu/mpc86xx for the new law setup code
recently created fsl_law.c, and changes the MPC8641HPCN config
to use this code.

if a board/$(VENDOR)/common/Makefile exists, build it.
also add the first such case, board/freescale/common/Makefile, to
handle building board-shared EEPROM, PIXIS, and MDS-PIB code, as
dictated by board configuration.
thusly get rid of alternate build dir errors such as:
FATAL: can't create /work/wd/tmp/u-boot-ppc/board/freescale/mpc8360emds/../common/pq-mds-pib.o: No such file or directory
by putting the common/ mkdir command in its proper place (the common
Makefile). Common bits from existing individual board Makefiles have
been removed.
