os: Prevent backtrace from being stopped in noreturn functions.
There are two noreturn functions in the X server: FatalError and
AbortServer. Having any of those two functions in the middle of a call
stack will prevent unwinding the program properly and stops the
backtrace at those functions in gdb.
The file containing FatalError and AbortServer, os/log.c, has to be
compiled with the -mapcs-frame option on ARM to get proper
backtraces. Automake imposes its own restrictions on compiling
individual source files with different options. The recommended way to
do this is to put os/log.c into a convenience library and add this
library inside os/libos.la. See the documentation of GNU Automake
manual, version 1.11.1, section 27.8 Per-Object Flags Emulation, for
details.
