In order to (subsequently) drop odd things like CONFIG_NEEDS_LIST_SORT

out of.
Note that we can't use thin archives just yet, until we've raised the
minimum required binutils version suitably.

I can't build Xen on Arm after this patch:
AR lib.a
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -EL -r -o built_in.o
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: no input files
/home/ANT.AMAZON.COM/jgrall/works/oss/xen/xen/Rules.mk:154: recipe for
target 'built_in.o' failed
