Disassembly files can unintentionally get picked up by the test build
system. This patch changes the file extension on those files from
".s" to ".s.txt" so they are ignored.
Make the following changes for IAR support:
-define __deprecated_message for IAR
-fix python error in iar.py
-move variable length array in buffered serial from cpp file to c file.
IAR only supports variable length arrays in c.
Turn on support for variable length arrays for the IAR C compiler.
This provides greater compatibility with GCC and ARMCC.
Note: The current version of iccarm at the time of this patch
(V7.40.3.8902) does not support variable length arrays in C++.
Support for compiling static libraries via build.py
Support for build.py --no-archive flag which compiles static library as multiple objects
Change default number of jobs when compiling to 0 (auto)
Fix for relative path issue when compiling, which flattened the output whenever absolute path is passed to --build (make.py and build.py)
Fix for temporary files when pre-processing of assembler files with ARMCC
Fix issue with response files where one of the elements is empty string
