Commit 3ebd1cbc introduced compiler-generated __bss_start
and __bss_end__ and commit c23561e7 rewrote all __bss_end__
as __bss_end. Their merge caused silent and harmless but
potentially bug-inducing clashes between compiler- and linker-
enerated __bss_end symbols.

Make __bss_end and __bss_start compiler-only, and create
__bss_base and __bss_limit for linker-only use.
