busybox: Specify '-nostdlib' when linking to a .o file.

Ensure that linking to the built-in.a file uses the 'nostlib'
option.  Submitted to busybox mailing list here:

    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2014-March/080730.html

This has been accepted into upstream busybox so it will not be needed
for future versions.

+Subject: [PATCH] build system: Specify '-nostldlib' when linking to .o files.
+
+For certain cross build scenarios the LD variable is overridden
+to use the gcc executive to ensure all the target tuning parameters
+are used.  In these cases, the executive errors out as shown below
+but since this step is only linking to a .o file the standard libs
+are not needed.
+
+    $ make LD=gcc applets/built-in.o
+      LD      applets/built-in.o
+    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
+    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
+    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
+    make[1]: *** [applets/built-in.o] Error 1
+    make: *** [applets_dir] Error 2
