For every components where it makes sense, use bash arrays (instead
of a string with space-separated values) to store the options pased
to ./configure.
Rewrite part of the code to better match the rest.
Most notably, rewrite handling of:
if [ ... ] && [ ... ]
to:
if [ ... -a ... ]
This has the positive side effect of calling "[" only once, although
"[" is probably a shell built-in.
To test for existing files, use "[ -f blabla ]", not "[ -a blabla ]"
Checking for a file exsitence with "-a" is a bashism.
Althoug we _are_ using bash, it's disturbing as it can be misread as
the 'and' operator. Fix by using "-f".
When compiling some C++ code, GCC 4.3.x fails with an internal
compiler error. The bug report is available at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37436. The included patch
is the one that has been merged in the trunk of gcc.

Some components (eg. GMP) will fail to correctly build if
the CONFIG_SHELL is not bash (eg. ash or dash). So make bash
the default CONFIG_SHELL.
Keep ash as a possible selection, as future versions of those
currently /broken/ tools may come fixed wrt to CONFIG_SHELL
being POSIX-ly compliant.
The tmul test uses a compiled-in input file in $(srcdir).
The problem is that the Makefile passes it unquoted. The C code
tries to stringify it using clever macros, which may *usually* work.
In my case the source directory was named:
.../toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe-1.0-2.fc10/.../tests
And guess what? During testing I found out the program fails because
it tries to open:
.../toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-1-gnuspe-1.0-2.fc10/.../tests
Yes, CPP tokenized the macro before stringifying it and not surprisingly
the 'linux' part was converted to 1.
[on Fedora-10: cpp (GCC) 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)]
So the attached patch simplify the macros and pass the path as string
from the Makefile.
It apears that more and more ./configure scripts and Makefiles
make use of non-POSIXly correct shell constructs, that don't
work with ash.
For now, just warn the user against using ash, but keep it as
an option in case newer versions of the /broken/ components
come fixed, and we can again use ash, as it is in some cases
really faster than bash.
In case the shell the user wants to use as CONFIG_SHELL is located in a
weird place (eg. /opt/bash/bin/bash), or is weirdly named (eg. bash-4),
let the user enter the patch to the shell.
The wrapper script placed around the target binaries when
using the companion libraries does not work for symbolic links
The wrapper scripts needs to follow the links before calling the
actual binary

The configure script fails on automake-1.11 (in Fedora-11) since
it looks for 3-digit version number.
Patch fixed by "Yann E. MORIN", with the added comment:
The check for the automake version is not against a 3-digit number,
but really against a 3-part version number, a-la 'x.y.z'. Versions
such as 1.10 and 1.11 are also valid.
Add a sample that builds on Linux a mingw32-hosted toolchain that
generates code for i686-none-linux-gnu.

- save the canadian smples in their own way, so as not to
mix non-canadian samples with canadian ones
- list canadian samples with the host information
Add implementation for a candadian build option already
present in crosstool in order to build a cross-compiler
where build != host != target

Prepare saving canadian samples by making the saveSample.sh script
a little bit more generic, using conditional code-paths (even if
there's currently a single code-path).
Collect the build tools in a seperate folder in order to prevent accidental
calling our newly build tools.
