    Make:Improve version string generation portability · 414ab853
    Evan Lloyd authored
    To get round problems encountered when building in a DOS build
    environment the generation of the .o file containing build identifier
    strings is modified.
    The problems encounterred were:
       1. DOS echo doesn't strip ' characters from the output text.
       2. git is not available from CMD.EXE so the BUILD_STRING value needs
          some other origin.
    
    A BUILD_STRING value of "development build" is used for now.
    
    MAKE_BUILD_STRINGS is used to customise build string generation in a DOS
    environment. This variable is not defined in the UNIX build environment
    make file helper, and so the existing build string generation behaviour
    is retained in these build environments.
    
    NOTE: This commit completes a cumulative series aimed at improving
          build portability across development environments.
          This enables the build to run on several new build environments,
          if the relevant tools are available.
          At this point the build is tested on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1,
          using CMD.EXE, Cygwin and Msys (MinGW),as well as a native
          Linux envionment".  The Windows platform builds used
          aarch64-none-elf-gcc.exe 4.9.1.  CMD.EXE and Msys used Gnu
          Make 3.81, cygwin used Gnu Make 4.1.
    
    CAVEAT: The cert_create tool build is not tested on the Windows
            platforms (openssl-for-windows has a GPL license).
