On some hosts, and for certain toolchains (eg. toolchain targetting
the upcoming Darwin), it may be necessary to pass arbitrary CFLAGS
and/or LDFLAGS when building the components.
And necessary infrastructure:
- EXTRA_{CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_FOR_{BUILD,HOST} as config options
- pass those extra flags to components
Fix-up a slight typo in elf2flt at the same time (misnamed cflags).

Add an option that, when a command fails:
- starts an interactive shell with the failed command's environment
- attempts re-execution of the failed command, continues, or aborts
at user's whim.
Before starting the debug-shell, the backtrace is printed.
When exiting for an abort, the standard error message is printed.

Currently, if downloads are forbidden, the mirror is still tried for.
Change this way:
- if downlaods forbidden, do not try neither upstream locations nor mirror
- add option to only use the mirror, and avoid upstream locations

Add support for building the HTML and PDF manuals for the major
components. Implement for binutils, GCC, GDB, and GLIBC.
Always build all manuals and install a subset. Be explicit about the
subset to reduce the clutter and to avoid getting copies of common
manuals like bfd from all of the sourceware based components. Downside of
being explicit is that you need to update it when a new component
comes along.
Build the manuals as part of the last GCC build, namely 'cc' for glibc
based ones and cc_core_pass_2 for baremetal.

When CT_PARALLEL_JOBS is -1, set the number of parallel jobs to the
number of online CPUs + 1. Update documentation to match.
I find this useful when building in the cloud. You can use the same
.config file and have the build adapt to the number of processors
available. Limited testing shows that NCPUS+1 is faster than NCPUS+0
or NCPUS+2.

Currently, the mirror can be used either:
- as a fallback in case upstream is unavailable (default behavior)
- as the preferred source for downloads
But the most common use-case seems to provide a truely-LAN mirror
to speed up downloads in big corpos', and/or provide a 'trusted'
source for the tarballs.
So, make the following changes;
- if a mirror is specified, always try that before trying upstream

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.

To reduce filesizes of the toolchain and even improve build times
of projects to be build with this toolchain it is usefull to strip
the delivered toolchain executables. Since it is not likely that we
will debug the toolchain executables itself we do not need the
debug information inside the executables itself.

Hide the prompts for some behavioral options, for which the upper-layer build
system is responsible for:
- parallel jobs and maximum load
- use pipes
- use custom shell
When crosstool-NG is used as a backend, it is the responsibility of the
upper-layer build-system to properly set paths, so we just hide the
prompts in this case.
When acting as a backend for a build-system, we should not build
any application that runs on the target, that is:
- no native gdb
- no companion libraries
- no binutils libraries
- no debug tools (save for gdbserver)
- ...
Here, we simply prepare the (hidden) config option that will detect
that we are acting as a back-end.
Update doc accordingly.
It's broken anyway. Eg.:
- user is already niced at 10
- user configures to renice at 5
- breaks because user is not allowed to 'boost' his/her nice value
Bette let the user handle the renice with:
nice -XX ct-ng 'action'
aria2 is a powerfull downloader that is capable of chunking and
parallel retrieval.
Due to li;itations in crosstool-NG retrieval facilities, it's not possible
to take fully advantage of aria2. It might happen that, in the future,
those limitations get lifted away, so we can take use features such as
parallel downloading from more than one server at the same time. For now,
it should still speed up downloads thanks to parallel downloading of chunks.
Some components (eg. GMP) will fail to correctly build if
the CONFIG_SHELL is not bash (eg. ash or dash). So make bash
the default CONFIG_SHELL.
Keep ash as a possible selection, as future versions of those
currently /broken/ tools may come fixed wrt to CONFIG_SHELL
being POSIX-ly compliant.
It apears that more and more ./configure scripts and Makefiles
make use of non-POSIXly correct shell constructs, that don't
work with ash.
For now, just warn the user against using ash, but keep it as
an option in case newer versions of the /broken/ components
come fixed, and we can again use ash, as it is in some cases
really faster than bash.
In case the shell the user wants to use as CONFIG_SHELL is located in a
weird place (eg. /opt/bash/bin/bash), or is weirdly named (eg. bash-4),
let the user enter the patch to the shell.
