Ayke van Laethem 2e76cd3687 builder: interpret linker error messages
This shows nicely formatted error messages for missing symbol names and
for out-of-flash, out-of-RAM conditions (on microcontrollers with
limited flash/RAM).

Unfortunately the missing symbol name errors aren't available on Windows
and WebAssembly because the linker doesn't report source locations yet.
This is something that I could perhaps improve in LLD.
