Loading a dynamic library (LTO plugin) from a static binary fails
on ArchLinux. It is also prone to break if a system is ever upgraded.
Also, disable plugins if not enabled explicitly.

Hence, it is better to enforce via config rules: elf2flt does not
play nice with ld wrapper, when both ld.bfd and ld.gold are present.
Limit the choices to just 'ld.bfd' for flat-format architectures.

Add patches for versions that didn't have them - patches updated/retired
as necessary.
Also, disallow 2.12.2 for architectures in ports - this version did not have
ports addon.

This partially reverts commit 88e8852ccd.
Bring back releases 2.12 and newer of glibc, along with the associated
Kconfig machinery. Simplify it slightly.
... these are apparently not needed with the current kconfig and only
result in warnings like "SYMBOL changed state" and "reassigning SYMBOL".
Perhaps, it was necessary to run kconfig without first generating
config.gen? But now all the targets that invoke $(CONF) have
`config_files` as a dependency.

It has not seen any new commits since July 2015, and haven't had any
releases since May 2012.
The only two architectures marked as supported by uClibc but not by
uClibc-ng are v850 and i960. Both are marked as "BROKEN" in the most
recent release of uClibc, 0.9.33.2.
RIP, uClibc.

Also, do not select gdbserver for cross-gdb automatically, or it may
be selected even without meeting the dependencies (if C++ is not enabled)

This serves two purposes:
- installs its manpage
- installs headers, without them it does not make sense to install a
static library
Unfortunately, there's no way to select shared-only build of DUMA.
Hence, disable selection for static library.
Also, allow user to select whether to use stock or ct-ng's wrapper.

Rather than requiring them of a certain version, detect if they are present
(and have sufficient version) and select an appropriate companion tool
otherwise. The reason is that, for example, most recent gettext requires
automake 1.15, but the newest available CentOS has 1.13. Hence, the option
to "upgrade your system" does not apply, and the warning comment above
the companion tools is rather scary.
With this approach, it will work out of the box - either by using the host's
tools, or by building them as needed. Note that the user can still change
the setting in the config.
While there, propagate the new version checking macro to awk/bash/host binutils,
and switch from --with-foo=xxx to officially blessed FOO=xxx: the latter
does not require checking for bogus values (i.e., --with-foo, --without-foo)
and AC_PROG_* macros recognize the corresponding settings without further
modifications. For now, I kept --with-foo=, if only to complain and steer
people to the new way. To be cleaned up after a release.
