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.

Commit 14d0a02a "Rename TEXT_BASE into CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE" missed a
few places, especially for boards that were added inbetween. Fix the
remaining issues.

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.

Provides a small speed increase and prepares for fully relocatable image.
Downside is the TEXT_BASE, bss, load address etc must ALL be aligned on a
a 4-byte boundary which is not such a terrible restriction as everything
is already 4-byte aligned anyway

Tidy up the linker script and discard some sections to save space

Create more generic names for the symbols exported from the linker script

Using %ebp as a return pointer prevents creating 'load anywhere' images

Progress indication is not relocation friendly so remove it in
preperation for full relocatability support

Follow the discussion of Charles Manning and Mike Frysinger.
Using gc_sections helps reduce image size.

Use TEXT_BASE rather than a hard-coded base address on x86 linker scripts.
This will allow any board to define its base link address without having
to modify the linker script
