gold is not capable of building glibc/eglibc. See this thread:

The gold linker does currently support only a limited set of architectures:
- x86 (32- and 64-bit)
- ARM
Hide the gold option for other architectures.

Add support for building SPARC targeted toolchain.
With this patch I have built a working sparc V8 (32 toolchain).
Testing shows that not all gcc versions works well:
4.4.1 OK (kernel builds and the final kernel can boot)
4.4.2 Not tested
4.4.3 Not tested
4.4.4 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.4.5 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.5.1 BAD (Build fails with a spill related ICE - http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35664)
4.5.2 OK (kernel builds and boots)
I have successfully been using the 4.5.2 version for a few months.
This patch does not add support for the LEON variant.
That may come later.

PPL 0.11+ installs three libs: lippl, libppl_c and libpwl.
libppl_c has a dependency on libpwl (at least for watchdog stuff).
While gcc correctly links with libppl and libppl_c, it does not
pull libpwl in. In case of shared libs, this is not a problem, as
libppl_c has a NEEDED dependency on libpwl. But for static libs,
that does not work. Although libppl_c.la exists and has a correct
dependency on lipwl, somehow gcc misses it. So we have to force
pulling libpwl when needed.

It can be quite confusing for a new-comer to find strange
version numbers for gcc, so hide the Linaro versions by
default.

Before gcc 4.6 was released, Linaro has a pre-release available.
Include that version in the config list.

So far, we've had a version always select appropriate _or_later option,
which in turn would select all previous _or_later options.
Because the dependencies on companion libs were cumulative, that was
working OK. But the upcoming 4.6 will no longer depend on libelf, so
we can't keep the cumulative scheme we've been using so far.
Have each release family select the corresponding dependencies, instead
of relying on selecting previous _or_later.

There was a mishap when cut-n-pasting code from the final
step into the core step: a variable was not renamed.

Some scripts have 'very long lines', so the output of 'file'
will have that mentioned, such as:
POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines

In a lot of places, we need to call some commands with specific
variable settings, a-la:
var1=val1 var2=val2 /foo/bar/buz opt1 opt2
Unfortunately, we currently can not log the variable settings.
Enhance CT_DoExecLog with a crude heuristic that works pretty well
and that can also log setting variables.

Users tend to look for the build log in the current working directory,
rather than in the toolchain's installation dir. While bundling the build
log in the toolchain installation dir is nice for distribution and review,
it can be easier to have the build log readily available in the working
directory, as it is quicker to get to it.
So, the build log stays in the working directory until the toolchain is
completely and successfully built, and then a (compressed) copy is made.

The heuristic to find shell script is deficient. Fix it.

Doing a chmod on the whole source dir after every packages
are extracted can take a hell of a lot of time.
The offending packages are far from legion, and they now
have their own chmod u+w to cleanup their own mess...
