Alexey Brodkin 2d4e2e238a binutils: fix building of Linux kernel for ARCv2 ISA
With the fix for missing .tdata/.tbss sections we unintentionally
introduced a regression for ARCv2 ISA (read ARC HS38) kernel building.

That's what we got on attempt to build kernel:
----------------------------------->8--------------------------------------
  LD      drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o
arc-linux-ld: ERROR: Attempting to link drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/built-in.o with a binary drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o of different architecture
arc-linux-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/built-in.o
scripts/Makefile.build:337: recipe for target 'drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o' failed
make[3]: *** [drivers/video/fbdev/built-in.o] Error 1
scripts/Makefile.build:403: recipe for target 'drivers/video/fbdev' failed
make[2]: *** [drivers/video/fbdev] Error 2
scripts/Makefile.build:403: recipe for target 'drivers/video' failed
make[1]: *** [drivers/video] Error 2
Makefile:944: recipe for target 'drivers' failed
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
----------------------------------->8--------------------------------------

The reason was empty .tdata and .tbss sections in empty archives. And
later empty archives were linked in built-in.o with default architecture
(in our case ARCv1 ISA, read for ARC 700) and then expected failure
happened when objets for different architectures were attempted to link
together.

Now we have a fix for that issue, see
a65b844aed

This fix is in arc-2.23-dev branch and will be a part of the next
release of ARC tools, so then this patch must be removed from buildroot.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
