[PATCH v2 10/22] tools/nolibc: export environ as a weak symbol on mips

The environ is retrieved from the _start code and is easy to store at
this moment. Let's declare the variable weak and store the value into
it. By not being static it will be visible to all units. By being weak,
if some programs already declared it, they will continue to be able to
use it. This was tested with mips24kc (BE) both with environ inherited
from _start and extracted from envp.
