This version has been released a couple of month ago, but it never reached
crosstool-ng tree. This may be linked to the fact that the current 0.9.30.2,
once patched, has nothing much different from 0.9.30.3, released.
I'm not including any patch with this upgrade, on purpose.

To reduce filesizes of the toolchain and even improve build times
of projects to be build with this toolchain it is usefull to strip
the delivered toolchain executables. Since it is not likely that we
will debug the toolchain executables itself we do not need the
debug information inside the executables itself.

Replace the over-engineered and buggy test in CT_SanitizePath
with a straight forward string pattern match, and also
handle empty PATH elements which are qeuivalent to ".".

Add CT_SanitizePath function which removes entries referring to ., /tmp
and non-existing directories from $PATH, and call it early in the
build script.
If . is in PATH, gcc-4.4.4 build breaks:
[ALL ] checking what assembler to use...
/tmp/build/targets/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/build/gcc-core-static/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/as
...
[ALL ] config.status: creating as
i.e. "as" is supposed to be the arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi cross assembler,
but config.status creates a local "as" script which is calling the
host assembler.

For some scenarii, libmudflap is not very usefull
or can break the build. Make in an optioon that
defaults to 'N' to be on the safe side.
For the core gcc-s, there is absolutely no need
to build libmidflap.
Idea from: Bernhard Pfund <bernhard@chapter7.ch>
Some time, someone updated the locale Makefile to use
newer pre-generated locales data, but did not upload
those.
So we just force using the existing, ageing archive,
dating back 20030818. Sigh...
It seems that using pre-generated locale data can be more problematic
than usefull in some circumstances.
Offer a config knob to enable/disable use of the pregen locale data.
Also, do not extract pregen locales data ourselves, it's broken.
I was unable to make the cross-ldd from uClibc to work, and
it is not possible to build it on non-POSIX system.
Besides, we have a generic script that is in the starting-blocks
to replace it, that will work for any C library, and also will
work on non-POSIX systems. Bonus!
When building a cross-compiler for a target which uses a file extension for
binaries the symbolic link to cc is not created correctly because the lookup
of the gcc binary is done in a incorrect path

uClibc >= 0.9.30 supports three verbosity levels, according to "make help":
V="" - Quiet build (default)
V=1 - Brief build (show defines, ld flags)
V=2 - Very verbose build
I think older versions of uClibc treat V=2 the same as V=1.
For current uClibc, only V=2 shows the full command lines.

GDB requires PDcurses instead of ncurses while running on Windows.
So, do not always compile ncurses in case GDB needs to build.
PDcurses is provided by an earlier build step and is not described in
this file.

Add the option to build a cross-compiler for kernel type 'mingw'.
The resulting cross-compiler can be used to build applications on a Linux host
that can be run on a Windows target.
Compiler is build using the mingwrt and w32-api packages aviable from the
MinGW project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw).
The windows headers (w32-api package) are extracting with the kernel_headers
step The libraries and other headers from both packages are build and
installed in the various steps of libc
