    build system: use archives, not linker action to shorten command lines
    
    Intermediate linking may distort linker behavior (in particular related to
    weak symbols). The idea is that archives are closer to 'just a list of
    object files', and ideally makes the linker more predictable.
    
    Using --whole-archive, the linker doesn't optimize out object files just
    because their symbols were already provided by weak versions. However it
    shouldn't be used for libgcc, because that one has some unexpected side-effects.
