What is best practice to change build behavior?  e.g. I need to use 
--whole-archive/--no-whole-archive in one place but --gc-sections breaks it and 
that's turned on for the BSP (xilinx_zynq_a9_qemu).

I’ve done this in the .cfg files for the BSP:

ifneq ($(RTEMS_GC_SECTIONS_DISABLE),1)
LDFLAGS_GC_SECTIONS_DISABLE = -Wl,--gc-sections
endif

(...)

LDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS_GC_SECTIONS_DISABLE)

and then I set RTEMS_GC_SECTIONS_DISABLE=1 in the one Makefile where I need it. 
 I don’t see similar patterns, is this the way to do it?

Historically a new BSP variant has been introduced when there needs to
be a change at this .cfg level. But, I could see a rationale to
include this kind of switching behavior at a higher level. Someone
might consider how to integrate it into our configure.ac/Makefile.am
black magic, but that is beyond me:).

An alternative approach that may work from what you propose is to use
following in the xilinx zynq .cfg file:
LDFLAGS ?= -Wl, --gc-sections
then, you can provide own LDFLAGS = -Wl on your make command line or
in your Makefile, I think that would work bit more elegant

Nobody forces you to use -Wl, --gc-sections to link your application. For the RTEMS tests and samples this shouldn't be an issue?
