commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=892bd8b409ec2a50c4911b9418a80ba659a93aec
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2021.08.x

With some toolchains (e.g. mips64el), partial linking fails in the
following way:
/tmp/instance-1/output-1/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/8.4.0/../../../../mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: build/release/libmupdf.a(Dingbats.cff.o): ABI is incompatible with that of the selected emulation
/tmp/instance-1/output-1/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/8.4.0/../../../../mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: failed to merge target specific data of file build/release/libmupdf.a(Dingbats.cff.o)

Taking inspiration from commit
9eca4b9f84fe2535d8caee6eeb062ce33733bdf1, fix it by using GCC instead
of LD for partial linking.

Note that on mips the build will now produce warnings similar to this
one:
buildroot/output/host/lib/gcc/mips64el-buildroot-linux-gnu/10.3.0/../../../../mips64el-buildroot-linux-gnu/bin/ld: build/release/libmupdf.a(NotoSansTaiTham-Regular.ttf.o): warning: linking abicalls files with non-abicalls files

During a runtime test on mips64el under qemu, mupdf-x11 was
nonetheless able to display a sample PDF file correctly.

+Subject: [PATCH] Use CC instead of LD for OBJCOPY
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+When cross-compiling for mips targets using Buildroot, using LD for
+partial linking fails in the following way:
+/tmp/instance-1/output-1/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/8.4.0/../../../../mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: build/release/libmupdf.a(Dingbats.cff.o): ABI is incompatible with that of the selected emulation
+/tmp/instance-1/output-1/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/8.4.0/../../../../mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: failed to merge target specific data of file build/release/libmupdf.a(Dingbats.cff.o)
+
+To fix it, use CC instead of LD for partial linking.
+
+'nostdlib' has to be added, or it will try to use GCC libraries for
+partial linking and fail with 'cannot find -lgcc_s'.
