Subject: [PATCH 1/7] [libc] [startup] add cmake function to merge separated
crt1 objects
As part of startup refactoring, this patch adds a function to merge multiple objects into a single relocatable object:
cc -r obj1.o obj2.o -o obj.o
A relocatable object is an object file that is not fully linked into an executable or a shared library. It is an intermediate file format that can be passed into the linker.
A crt object can have arch-specific code and arch-agnostic code. To reduce code cohesion, the implementation is splitted into multiple units. As a result, we need to merge them into a single relocatable object.
