cmake: Build FDPIC modules the way the make build does.
The same two differences as in common/Toolchain.defs: the compiler is told
-mfdpic -fPIC, and the module link is done by an arm-uclinuxfdpiceabi
linker.
That linker is not the one that links the firmware, so the module link needs
a variable of its own. CMAKE_ELF_LD is the ordinary linker unless the
architecture sets it, which arm does under CONFIG_FDPIC.
The linker script needs nothing here: it is generated from
libs/libc/elf/gnu-elf.ld.in, which both build systems preprocess, and the
FDPIC segments are already in it.
-r is now conditional on CONFIG_PIC being off, which is what
common/Toolchain.defs has always done and the cmake build did not: a
position independent module is linked as an executable, and an FDPIC one as
a shared object, so neither wants it.
-fno-use-cxa-atexit mirrors CXXELFFLAGS for the same reason it was added
there.
Configured and built mps3-an547:picostest with CONFIG_FDPIC through cmake and
ninja: the modules in bin/ are ARM FDPIC with two PT_LOAD segments.
