Sebastien Carlier 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.

Wolfgang Denk aa1bcca3d2 post/Makefile: fix dependency problem with parallel builds
Parallel builds (using "make -jN") would occasionally fail with error
messages like
	ppc_4xxFP-objdump: string.o: File format not recognized
or
	post/libpost.a(cpu.o): In function `cpu_post_test':
	/home/wd/git/u-boot/work/post/lib_ppc/cpu.c:130: undefined reference to `cpu_post_test_string'
or similar. We now make sure to run the 'postdeps" step before
attempting to build the specific POST libraries.

Yuri Tikhonov 2d2b994a30 POST: move CONFIG_POST to Makefiles
Introduce the new logical option CONFIG_HAS_POST which is set when the
platform has CONFIG_POST set. Use CONFIG_HAS_POST in the post/ Makefiles
to determine should the POST libs be compiled for the selected target
platform, or not.

To avoid breaking u-boot linking process, the empty post/libpost.a file is
created for platforms which do not have POSTs.

Wolfgang Denk ad5bb451ad Restructure POST directory to support of other CPUs, boards, etc. 2007-03-06 18:08:43 +01:00
Marian Balakowicz 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.
