build system stabilization and symbol resolution tasks

1. Update Makefile Link Order & Objects

- Link Order : Modified the Makefile to place -lgcc at the very end of the link command. This ensures that any implicit 64-bit math symbols (like __udivdi3 ) required by the object files are correctly resolved by the compiler's support library.
- LDFLAGS : Cleaned up LDFLAGS to focus on -T linker.ld -nostdlib -m32 , letting the link command handle the output and library ordering.
- Object Inclusion : Verified that all critical objects (from src/arch/ , src/cpu/ , etc.) are automatically included in the build via the wildcard and patsubst rules.
2. Fix framebuffer.c

- Splash Function : Implemented a non-static vga_display_splash directly in framebuffer.c .
- Modern Driver : This version uses the modern fb_console and fb_clear APIs, providing a clean, colorized boot splash that works with the current linear framebuffer driver while maintaining compatibility with the kernel's initialization sequence.
3. Standardize linker.ld

- Simplified Layout : Rewrote the linker script to follow a standard, robust layout.
- PHDR Prevention : Replaced complex address offsets with standard BLOCK(4K) : ALIGN(4K) directives. This prevents "Program Header" errors and ensures sections like .text (which now correctly includes .multiboot ), .rodata , and .data are properly aligned on 4KB page boundaries.
4. Assembly Export Check

- Symbol Visibility : Updated isr.s to explicitly mark isr_handler and irq_handler as global in addition to extern . This ensures the assembly stubs can correctly "talk" to the C implementations in isr.c .
