[PATCH nolibc 32/61] tools/nolibc: move exported functions to their own section

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>]

From: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>

Some functions like raise() and memcpy() are permanently exported because
they're needed by libgcc on certain platforms. However most of the time
they are not needed and needlessly take space.

Let's move them to their own sub-section, called .text.nolibc_<function>.
This allows ld to get rid of them if unused when passed --gc-sections.
