Building cross-gdb in canadian cross requires expat/ncurses for the
host. Currently, 300-gdb.sh only builds expat/ncurses for the target
(for native-gdb). For cross-gdb on regular cross (build==host), expat
and ncurses are expected to be provided by the host.
There are two approaches possible:
- If building for canadian cross, build expat/ncurses for cross-gdb
just as the native-gdb does.
- Promote expat/ncurses to first class citizens and build them as
companion libs during the build of the build-to-host toolchain.
I am leaning towards the latter approach - it would also allow to
specify the versions for expat/ncurses rather than have them hardcoded
in 300-gdb.sh - but would appreciate feedback.

====================
EGLIBC is no longer developed and such goals are now being addressed
directly in GLIBC.
====================
I'm not interested in maintaining build support for unsupported
software.
Older branches of crosstool-ng continue to have eglibc support.
If you find issues with older branches, I'm always open to pull
requests.
Removing eglibc also frees up glibc cleanup and build optimization.
