Subject: Makefile: Remove -nostartfiles from LDFLAGS

Binutils linker ld does not support the flag -nostartfiles.
This is interpreted as "-n -o startfiles" which fortunately has no impact
on the build process. Removing -nostartfiles has no impact on the build.

Binutils 2.36 and later ld has improved flag parsing and throws an error if
-nostartfiles is passed as an argument. Removing the flag fixes the problem.

Details on the Binutils ML:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-June/116826.html

In our ld command line there are explicit
-n -o $(BINDIR)/$(BOOT_NAME).elf options,
hence removing -nostartfiles will not alter the build.
