arm: make __bss_start and __bss_end__ compiler-generated
Turn __bss_start and __bss_end__ from linker-generated to compiler-generated symbols, causing relocations for these symbols to change type, from R_ARM_ABS32 to R_ARM_RELATIVE. This should have no functional impact, as it affects references to __bss_start and __bss_end__ only before relocation, and no such references are done.

+ *
+ * We need a 0-byte-size type for these symbols, and the compiler
+ * does not allow defining objects of C type 'void'. Using an empty
+ * struct is allowed by the compiler, but causes gcc versions 4.4 and
+ * below to complain about aliasing. Therefore we use the next best
