This patch is required in case if you are using new toolchains.

Best regards,
Maxim Uvarov.

From: Maxim Uvarov <muvarov at gmail.com>

Linker does not provide some vital functions when building freestanding
applications with a new toolchain, so we have to provide our own CRT.

p.s.
Without the CRT we won't see any build errors (since the purgatory is
linked with --no-undefined), but the purgatory code won't work,
'kexec -e' will just hang the board.


I added option to configure to keep code buildable for old toolchais.
But there should be way to do this automatically.
