commit 8193b997acf2c7ddb04ef0d4095fc950afcd754d
Author: Patrick Georgi 
Date:   Sun Oct 7 22:11:07 2012 +0200

Drop ramstage.a

ramstage.a has two issues:
    1. duplicate source filenames don't survive the ar(1)
       treatment properly (so files aren't considered)
    2. ld doesn't resolve symbols if it isn't forced to, in
       particular no overrides of weak symbols

Downside: The resulting binaries get slightly larger.
    Link time optimizations should fix that, as would tighter
    rules in the build system (to not compile unused code in
    the first place).
