Jiri Olsa 0bdede8a3e tools build: Allow duplicate objects in the object list
It's sometimes useful to specify the object affiliation to multiple
config options like:

  libperf-$(CONFIG_X86) += tsc.o
  libperf-$(CONFIG_AUXTRACE) += tsc.o

while the object itself is linked only once. Adding the support for this
and ignoring duplicate objects in the object list.

Jiri Olsa c819e2cf2e tools build: Add new build support
Adding new build framework into 'tools/build' to be used by tools.

There's no change for actual building at this point, it comes in the
next patches.

The idea and more details are explained in the
'tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt' file.

I adopted everything from the kernel build system, with some changes to
allow for multiple binaries build definitions.

While the kernel's build output is single image (forget modules) we need
to be able to build several binaries/libraries.

The basic idea is that sser provides 'Build' files with objects
definitions like:

  perf-y += a.o
  perf-y += b.o
  libperf-y += c.o
  libperf-y += d.o

and the build framework outputs files:

  perf-in.o    # a.o, b.o compiled in
  libperf-in.o # c.o, d.o compiled in
