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.

The CONFIG_BFIN_CPU option is largely used in the build system, so move
it out of the board config.h and into the board config.mk. It'd be nice
to keep everything in the config.h, but the patch to extract that value
early was rejected.

While the initdram() function makes sense on some arches, it doesn't for
Blackfin systems as it's always implemented the same way.

All the Blackfin linker scripts were duplicated across the board dirs with
no difference save from the semi-often used ENV_IS_EMBEDDED option. So
unify all of them in the lib_blackfin/ dir and for the few boards that
need to embedded the environment directly, add a LDS_BOARD_TEXT define for
them to customize via their board config file. This is much simpler than
forcing them to duplicate the rest of the linker script.
