The offending packages are far from legion, and they now
have their own chmod u+w to cleanup their own mess...

Plugins are shared objects, and when building a toolchain statically,
the gcc build system breaks havok (although there is no hard technical
reasons it should not be possible)...
And consequently, do not enable plugin supoprt in binutils.

Building the start files requires a shared-capable compiler, which we do
not have when the threading implementation is LinuxThreads.
So, only build the start files when the threading implementations is NPTL.

By default, recent versions of glibc and eglibc will build some
functions that take format strings (eg. printf, syslog...) with
run-time checks against some format string attacks. This is
called a fortified build.
Unfortunately, this fails somehow while building the instrumented
version of syslog, with some kind of circular dependency...
Disable fortified builds by default, and hide the enabling option
behind EXPERIMENTAL for daring users...

As companion tools might or might not be used to build each
toolchain, they do belong to that toolchain's build tools,
not to the generic override tools.

There is absolutely *no* reason for the buildtools (wrappers to gcc, g++,
as, ld... for the local machine) to be in the toolchain directory. Moreover,
they are removed after the build completes.
Move them out of the toolchain directory, and into the build directory (but
yet the part specific to the current toolchain). This means we no longer
need to explicitly remove them either, BTW, but we need to save/restore them
for the restart feature.

Currently, the buildtools are installed relative to ${CT_PREFIX_DIR}.
Change that by introducing ${CT_BUILDTOOLS_DIR}, which is
still set relative to ${CT_PREFIX_DIR}, but which will make it easy
to change in the future.

The gcc used by linaro has a version number specific to Linaro, but
identifies itself with its upstream version numbering scheme.
This breaks the strip in the finish step, because the actual gcc version
is not the same as the configured one (eg. 4.5.2 vs. linaro-4.5-2011.02-0).

Since the advent of make-3.82, some packages now break due to changes
in make-3.82, being stricter than 3.81 when interpreting the Makefiles.
This has bugged us a bit too much so far, and I believe fixing all
of them is a long road, while simply building make-3.81 is the easiest
route for now.
Of course, in the long term, packages will get fixed upstream, and we
should back-port the fixes to old versions, and get rid of building
make-3.81. In the meantime...

In certain circumstances, removing the destination/installation directory
is a bad idea. For example, when the build environment is already taking
care of sanitising the build tree, and pre-installs stuff in there, it is
a very bad idea to remove the destination directory.
This happens now in buildroot, as the crostool-NG backend now installs the
toolchain in the common host-tools directory, and pre-install there a few
host-utilities (eg. host-automake and host-gawk).
Provide a config knob to turn on/off the removal of the destination
directory, defaulting to 'y' (previous behavior), and forced to 'n' when
used as a backend.

Under mingw, it seems that there is a mix between the traditional /usr
directory, and a similar-purposed /mingw directory (both in the sysroot).
Currently, we create /mingw as a symlink to /usr, and we removed it in
the libc-finish step.
Unfortunately, this prevents the pre-processor to find the headers.
Keeping the symlink makes it magically work...
