[PATCH] Makefile.am: filter -Wl,--no-undefined

[PATCH] Makefile.am: filter -Wl,--no-undefined

[Fabrice Fontaine]

Commit 1d14ef82f4a3be741bcdf6b1c6d51ce9dce43567 does not completely fix
the build with python 3.8 as we still get link failure due to
'-z undefs' being ignored by some versions of ld.

Indeed, -z undefs was added by commit
97a232d7335f3bd0231fd9cd39455bde1d563922 in upstream binutils, and this
commit was first present in binutils 2.30.
So any toolchain using binutils version older than that won't have
-z undefs and will build fail on:

/home/buildroot/autobuild/instance-0/output-1/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/mips-linux-gnu/5.3.0/../../../../mips-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: -z undefs ignored.

So filter -Wl,--no-undefined to fix the issue

Fabrice also submitted this patch to Buildroot, and I merged it.
Indeed, the -z undefs option was only introduced in binutils 2.30, so
any toolchain using a binutils older than that is not able to use -z
undefs.

So I'd say that Fabrice's proposal is fine. Another option would be to
detect if the toolchain support -z undefs, and only use --no-undefined
if -z undefs is supported, for example.
