Michael LeMay c75e9466f6 galileo: Fix bug in newlib build script
This patch fixes a bug in the newlib build script that causes it to
not delete an old source directory as intended prior to rebuilding the
library.

Michael LeMay b915e7d5e3 galileo: Omit exception handling unwind tables
This patch modifies the newlib and Contiki C and C++ compiler flags to
omit exception handling unwind tables (see
http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=Exception_Handling).
Removing these tables saves space in debug builds and has not caused
any readily-apparent functional changes.

Here is the size listing for an example program built without this
patch:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  76002	   1508	  21224	  98734	  181ae	all-timers.galileo

Here is the size listing for the same program with this patch:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  72918	   1508	  21224	  95650	  175a2	all-timers.galileo

The primary motivation for this patch is to help enable UEFI support.
The .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr sections that are otherwise generated
are treated as code sections by the EDK2 GenFw program, since they are
read-only alloc sections.  They get grouped with the actual code
sections, ahead of the data sections.  This perturbs symbols and
complicates debugging.

Andre Guedes 6b433aede1 x86: Improve release binary size
This patch adds -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections to the
'release' CFLAGS so each function and data is place into its
own section in the output file. It also adds --gc-section to
the 'release' LDFLAGS so the linker removes the sections which
are not referenced.

This patch also adds -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections
options to CFLAGS from build_newlib.sh. This increases newlib
static libraries size, however, the Contiki image shrinks even
more since --gc-section removes "dead code" from newlib.

As a practical effect, all unused function and data (as well as
sections such as .eh_frame) are striped out from the final elf
binary. This shrinks our release binary drastically.

Finally, to prevent --gc-section from removing .multiboot section,
this patch adds KEEP(*(.multiboot)) to quarkX1000.ld.

Michael LeMay 9b6b5ce5b0 galileo: Instruct developer to build C library prior to building Contiki
This patch enhances build_newlib.sh to create Makefile.libc so that
the main Galileo makefile can attempt to include Makefile.libc and
instruct the developer to run build_newlib.sh first if the definition
within Makefile.libc is not detected.

Michael LeMay b2e4786187 galileo: Stylistic changes to make build_newlib.sh less repetitive
This script defines new variables to represent common paths and
filenames.  It does not introduce any functional changes.

Michael LeMay c8cdc0c157 galileo: Check for errors after downloading newlib tarball
Repeat the file existence and MD5 checks in build_newlib.sh after the
newlib tarball is downloaded and exit if either of the checks fail.

Michael LeMay b79fcaa7d8 galileo: Override Ubuntu's default GCC flags to avoid link errors
Ubuntu enables GCC's stack protector by default (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features).  This causes link errors
like the following:

 ...undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'

To avoid these errors, this patch adds the "-fno-stack-protector" flag
to both the CFLAGS used by the Contiki build process and the CFLAGS
used by the newlib build process.

Jesus Sanchez-Palencia c9897fe9b0 galileo: Add BSP files
This patch creates the platform/galileo/bsp directory. This directory
contain all files related to Galileo's Board Support Package (BSP). For
now, the BSP consists of libc and bootloader.

Within the BSP directory, we have the scripts build_newlib.sh and build_
grub.sh. These scripts provide an easy and quick way to build the newlib
and the grub for the Galileo platform.
