This improves support for the --out option. Previously, the cache file
was placed in the source directory under "build/...". Now, it is placed
in the output directory, which is "build" by default. So, if you don't
use the --out option nothing changes. However, if you use the --out
option, then the cache file is placed under the specified directory.
Add a feature to enforce an explicit target file for assembler sources.
Add a build start file node list and use it as a test program
dependency.
The fix for #3846 and #4080 needs to be combined, because the fix
for #3846 requires the removal of 'before=["cstlib"]'. This patch fixes
two issues:
1. The tracking of start file dependencies.
2. Reflect that executables depend on the start files.
We need a start.o file in the right path so that the linker can find is
as specified by the linker script, and not for example a start.S.17.o
file in some path. This part is addressed by the "explicit_asm_target"
feature.
