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 Hammerhead platform is built around a AVR32 32-bit microcontroller
from Atmel. It offers versatile peripherals, such as ethernet, usb
device, usb host etc.
The board also incooperates a power supply and is a Power over Ethernet
(PoE) Powered Device (PD).
Additonally, a Cyclone III FPGA from Altera is integrated on the board.
The FPGA is mapped into the 32-bit AVR memory bus. The FPGA offers two
DDR2 SDRAM interfaces, which will cover even the most exceptional need
of memory bandwidth. Together with the onboard video decoder the board
is ready for video processing.
