On some systems, libbfd is supplied only as a static library; linking
will fail unless -liberty is also specified.

FreeBSD requires the object format to be specified as elf_i386_fbsd,
rather than elf_i386.

Based on a patch from Eygene Ryabinkin <rea-fbsd@codelabs.ru>

We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user
access and user memory allocation.

EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the
EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a
custom efilink utility.

-Wformat-nonliteral is not enabled by -Wall and needs to be explicitly
 specified.

Modified the few files that use nonliteral format strings to work with
this new setting in place.

Inspired by a patch from Carl Karsten <carl@personnelware.com> and an
identical patch from Rorschach <r0rschach@lavabit.com>.

Allow for the build CPU architecture and platform to be specified as part
of the make command goals.  For example:

  make bin/rtl8139.rom      # Standard i386 PC-BIOS build

  make bin-efi/rtl8139.efi  # i386 EFI build

The generic syntax is "bin[-[arch-]platform]", with the default
architecture being "i386" (regardless of the host architecture) and the
default platform being "pcbios".

Non-path targets such as "srcs" can be specified using e.g.

  make bin-efi srcs

Note that this changeset is merely Makefile restructuring to allow the
build architecture and platform to be determined by the make command
goals, and to export these to compiled code via the ARCH and PLATFORM
defines.  It doesn't actually introduce any new build platforms.

Some older versions of gcc don't complain about unknown compiler flags
unless you ask them to actually compile; asking them to merely
preprocess won't trigger the error.

Fix the -fno-stack-protector test by making it attempt to compile an
empty file, rather than preprocess an empty file.

?= in a Makefile means that that variable can be overridden by the
environment.  This is confusing to users, especially with a generic
name like "ARCH".

Use "-include" rather than "include" for the generated Makefile
fragments, in order to suppress the long list of warnings that
otherwise appears at the start of a clean build.

Remove src/Config as it has no more users, and conflicts with
src/config on case-deficient filesystems.

This "+" should be removed when a tarball release is done.

Revert "Use .SECONDARY instead of .PRECIOUS for bin/%.tmp targets."

This reverts commit de29e5a39c.

.SECONDARY doesn't seem to work properly with the target patterns of
implicit rules.  In particular, a "make clean ; make bin/rtl8139.dsk"
will correctly leave the bin/rtl8139.dsk.tmp file present when .PRECIOUS
is used, but not when .SECONDARY is used.

This is slightly irritating since we don't want the
"do-not-delete-if-interrupted" semantics of .PRECIOUS, but it seems to be
the best compromise.

During development it is often handy to change the config.h options from
their defaults, for example to enable debugging features.

To prevent accidental commits of debugging config.h changes, mdc
suggested having a config-local.h that is excluded from source control.
This file acts as a temporary config.h and can override any of the
defaults.

This commit is an attempt to implement the config-local.h feature.

The config.h file now has the following as its last line:
/* @TRYSOURCE config-local.h */

The @TRYSOURCE directive causes config-local.h to be included at that
point in the file.  If config-local.h does not exist, no error will be
printed and parsing will continue as normal.  Therefore, mkconfig.pl is
"trying" to "source" config-local.h.

ROMs will refuse to build unless pci_vendor_id and pci_device_id are
defined.  We probably ought to fix up the Makefile (and the ROM prefix) so
that they're required only for PCI ROMs, but this will do for now.

Using -MM strips out any system header files from the dependency list,
which means that we could safely use an external stdarg.h if we wanted
to.

Deleting bin/deps after "make veryclean" keeps deps from being
regenerated in the tarball.

Added 'install' and 'configure' targets for those who are used
to other build setups.
