Subject: [RFC v2] s390/purgatory: Make sure we fail the build if purgatory has missing symbols

Since we link purgatory with -r aka we enable "incremental linking"
no checks for unresolved symbols are done while linking the purgatory.

This commit adds an extra check for unresolved symbols by calling ld
without -r before running objcopy to generate purgatory.ro.

This will help us catch missing symbols in the purgatory sooner.

Note this commit also removes --no-undefined from LDFLAGS_purgatory
as that has no effect.

Changes in v2:
- Using 2 if_changed lines under a single rule does not work, then
  1 of the 2 will always execute each build.
  Instead add a new (unused) purgatory.chk intermediate which gets
  linked from purgatory.ro without -r to do the missing symbols check
- This also fixes the check generating an a.out file (oops)
