Cross-gdb depends on expat and python. If either is missing, cross-gdb will
build successfully, but lacking some features.
Especially, if expat is missing, cross-gdb will be unable to parse the target
description, which may lead to runtime malfunctions and the following GDB
warning:
"Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time"
Hence, expat should be considered mandatory.
On the other hand, the features missing without python are not critical, so
python should not be considered mandatory.
This patch does the following:
- At configure time, warn the user if either expat or python is missing.
- In menuconfig, disable the static build options regarding cross-gdb if no
static version of expat is available, and disable cross-gdb if expat is
missing.

"crosstool-NG-${CT_VERSION}" is currently the default for TOOLCHAIN_PKGVERSION,
and this options is passed as is to --with-pkgversion.
This patch prepends "crosstool-NG ${CT_VERSION}" to TOOLCHAIN_PKGVERSION before
passing it to --with-pkgversion.

This patch sets the runtime sysroot to fix the following GDB warning:
"Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.
GDB will be unable to debug shared library initializers
and track explicitly loaded dynamic code."
The sysroot can later be changed within gdb with the `set sysroot`
command if necessary.

The reunification of the glibc/eglibc code paths exposed a nasty
bug in the glibc build: use of PARALLELMFLAGS breaks the build.

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.]

For now, ncurses is the only dependable target library built for gdb.
But expat is coming, and there's no reason to install each library in
its own place.
So, install ncurses in a generic directory, where other dependable
libraries can be installed as well.

Although the gdb ./configure advertises for GMP and MPFR, those libraries
are not used by gdb (the ./configure is used across different packages,
hence the check for GMP/MPFR). See:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-08/msg00168.html
The same applies to MPC.

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.

Insight seems to be very slow to follow up on mainstreram gdb.
Latest snapshots are more than 6 months old.
Moreover, I don't have time to maintain insight support in crosstool-NG;
and, because I don't use it, I am unable to find any breakage.
The native 'tic' will _always_ be run on the build
machine, so no need to handle canadian/native/...

The companion libraries on the target are required only for internal use by
binutils and gdb. The user should not have to know about this, so hide the
option.
We only build the static ncurses, to be used to build the native gdb,
and it needs not be available for anyone but us. So install it into
a temporary place, and get rid of it once gdb is built.
ncurses is built solely for the sake of building a native gdb.
The user should not rely on this library to build his/her userland,
but should rather build his/her own. So we remove it from the
sysroot after we successfully build the native gdb.
- find the executables extension (needed under some OS, like Winblows)
- build tic in //
- simplify the make and install command lines

Seems ncurses 5.7 need build host stage for tic step; if use host tic
(ubuntu) the build process hang in the below step.
So I guess need to build ncurses host stage to build new tic
and provided a patch to that efect.
And in fact, we do need "tic" to run on the _build_ system to properly
generate the terminfo database.
Note: this is fully functional, but still requires a litle bit of
tweaking so that ${CT_BUILD}-gcc gets used instead of plain gcc.
But that's a minor problem for now...

Turned out that none could use GMP and MPFR as the config option changed its name, but the change was not propagated to all users.

add a config knob to configure the native gdb to use or not to use GMP and
MPFR; _this_config_knob_ will force building the target GMP and MPFR only if
turned on.
