6d8962e814 Switch from archive libraries to partial linking
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.

f098337152 JFFS2: drop support for LZARI compression mode
Support for LZARI compression mode was added based on a MTD CVS
snapshot of March 13, 2005. However, fs/jffs2/compr_lzari.c contains
contradictory licensing terms: the original copyright clause says "All
rights reserved. Permission granted for non-commercial use.", but
later reference to the file 'LICENCE' in the jffs2 directory was added
which says GPL v2 or later.

As no boards ever used LZARI compression, and this file is also not
present in recent MTD code, we resolve this conflict by removing the
conflicting file and references to it.

Also copy the referenced but missing file 'LICENCE' from the current
MTD source tree.

f0037c56b0 Build: split COBJS value into multiple lines
This change is in preparation for condtitionial compile support in the
build system.  By spliting them all into seperate lines now, subsequent
patches that change 'COBJS-y += ' into 'COBJS-$(CONFIG_<blah>) += ' will
be less invasive and easier to review

f93286397e Add support for a saving build objects in a separate directory.
Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:

  1) Add O= to the make command line
  'make O=/tmp/build all'

  2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
  'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
  'make'

The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'

Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.

When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.

March 13, 2005); new configuration options CONFIG_JFFS2_LZO and
CONFIG_JFFS2_LZARI are added. Both are undefined by default.
