v3 does not handle .data and .bss sections in stage1 and initram. We simply hope they are unused/empty and will get runtime crashes/corruption/malfunction if they are not empty.
Check for the emptiness of these sections and abort the build on error. This triggers on all stage1/initram global variables which are not declared the right way.
This found a long-standing bug introduced in r729 and fixed in r576. It also breaks the build of every Geode target in the v3 tree because they have multiple bugs. And it breaks the build of the K8 code because of a bug there.
Tested for all possible variations of .data and .bss usage.

Better checker follows. It does not only tell you the name of the object file with the bug, it even gives you the variable name which caused the bug: CHECK initram (non-empty .data sections) /sources/tmptrees/corebootv3-check_illegal_global_vars/build/coreboot.initram_partiallylinked.o: first_time.3526 make: *** [/sources/tmptrees/corebootv3-check_illegal_global_vars/build/coreboot.initram] Error 1

Hm.. should we pack this into a small shell script (similar to xcompile) ? Duplicating (almost) the same code 4 times is a bit ugly.
Also, please use $(OBJDUMP), as on any cross compiling system objdump will not be there, or for a different architecture.
Script follows. It will be called with the correct $(OBJDUMP). What do you think?
