By default, PPL wants to build interfaces for any of a variety of
langauges it finds on the local host (python, java, possibly perl, also
more esoteric languages such as ocaml and prolog).
These extra interfaces can double the compile time for the library. For
single-process builds, I found a savings of more than 40%:
default / j1: 716s total, 143.2s avg, 0.52s stdev
just_c / j1: 406s total, 81.2s avg, 0.33s stdev
just_c_cpp / j1: 413s total, 82.6s avg, 0.22s stdev
And for multi-process builds, it approached 50%:
default / j4: 625s total, 125.0s avg, 0.57s stdev
just_c / j4: 338s total, 67.6s avg, 1.25s stdev
just_c_cpp / j4: 327s total, 65.4s avg, 0.36s stdev
Since the PPL we build within ct-ng is only used by GCC, we only need to
build the C and C++ interfaces.

PPL does not use the "--enable-cxx" configure switch at all; it's
possibly a cut-and-paste leftover from 'gmp.sh'. (PPL is written in C++
natively, so it doesn't make much sense to have to enable C++; GMP, on
the other hand, is written in C with an optional C++ wrapper.)

'configure' for PPL 0.11 (and later) needs "--with-gmp-prefix" to
provide the location of the GMP toolkit; the previous switches were
"--with-libgmp-prefix" and "--with-libgmpxx-prefix".
The upstream log message is:

New configure option --with-gmp-prefix supersedes the (now removed)
options --with-libgmp-prefix and --with-libgmpxx-prefix.

Since PPL's 'configure' ignores unknown switches, we use all three so we
don't have to conditionalize the ppl.sh build script itself.

Managing the shared version of the companion libraries
has become cumbersome.
Also, it will one day be possible to use the companion
libraries from the host distribution, and then we will
be able to easily use either shared or static libs.
As a side note, while working on the canadian-rework
series, it has become quite more complex to properly
handle shared companion libraries, as they need to be
built both for the build and gost systems. That's not
easy to handle. At all.

The reunification of the glibc/eglibc code paths exposed a nasty
bug in the glibc build: use of PARALLELMFLAGS breaks the build.
See the explanations in that bug report against FC6:

I ran into some minor difficulties looking through the build log for a
particular file: I wasn't interested in seeing it unpacked, but only
when it is built or installed. Adding these two levels allows me to
differentiate between those cases.
[Yann E. MORIN: Those are blind log levels, and are used only to search
in the build-log afterward.]

As there's no longer any user of the companion libraries on the
target, nuke the build for the target.
Well, at least, there's libelf that's still needed by ltrace, so
we keep it.
