We check for apps:
* make
* sed
* grep
* awk
* libtool/libtoolize
* install
* patch
* and more
...during configure. Our scripts should be consistent about using the
variables that define where the found tool was found.
Of course, we do hard-link these tools in buildtools, but that should be
a backup for the components we are building. Our scripts should always
use the tools we find.

We had following problem: We're building a toolchain with an old glibc
version for compatibility with old Linux distributions (glibc 2.9). This
version requires make < 4 to build. However, the configure script of
glibc looks for make in the order "gnumake", "gmake" and "make". So when
"gmake" is available in the system (which is the case on Gentoo Linux
per default, unfortunately), then configure finds the system gmake 4.1
instead of the ct-ng make 3.82.
This patch adds an option to install a symlink so that 'gmake' is also
available in the old version when building toolchains.

This change updates the download locations to default to the official
download site.
For gcc and gdb, also separate out the linaro download locations so that
if you are downloading the linaro variant, it skips trying to download
from the official gcc mirror.

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.
Fix a typo in the autoconf URL.

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...

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.]
