When compiling with -j1 flag in powerpc, the libproc_macro finds the
libcore.rmeta both in toolchain and local rust directory. libproc_macro
should use the toolchain provided libcore.rmeta.

So for this, make libproc_macro2 libquote and libsyn dependent on core.o
so that libcore.rmeta is generated after these 3 files are done
compiling.
