If we don't want to build support for any partition types we can now
add #undef CONFIG_PARTITIONS in a board config file to keep this from
being compiled in. Otherwise boards assume this is compiled in by
default

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.

Move the CONFIG_XXX out of the part_XXX.c file and into Makefile to
avoid pointless compiles.

This change is in preparation for condtitionial compile support in the
build system.  By spliting them all into seperate lines now, subsequent
patches that change 'COBJS-y += ' into 'COBJS-$(CONFIG_<blah>) += ' will
be less invasive and easier to review

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.

* Patch by Jon Diekema, 12 Nov 2002:
  - Adding URL for IEEE OUI lookup
  - Making the autoboot #defines dependent on CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
    being defined.
  - In the CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS #define, the root-on-initrd and
    root-on-nfs macros are designed to switch how the default boot
    method gets defined.
