Subject: [PATCH v2 09/22] tools/nolibc: export environ as a weak symbol on arm

The environ is retrieved from the _start code and is easy to store at
this moment. Let's declare the variable weak and store the value into
it. By not being static it will be visible to all units. By being weak,
if some programs already declared it, they will continue to be able to
use it. This was tested in arm and thumb1 and thumb2 modes, and for each
mode, both with environ inherited from _start and extracted from envp.
