Some projects are using (or planning to use) crosstool-NG, and are storing
it in their VCS, which might not be Mercurial. At the same time, those
projects may want to track development snapshots versions the way we do
with the Hg identity string (hg id).
Provide a way for these project to do so, without having to patch
./configure, and maintain that patch over-and-over again.

ARM compilers can be built for soft float (software only, floats in
core registers), hard float (uses floating point instructions, floats
in FPU registers), or the half-way house softfp (uses floating point
instructions, floats in core registers).

Some architectures support a mixed hard/soft floating point, where
the compiler emits hardware floating point instructions, but passes
the operands in core (aka integer) registers.
For example, ARM supports this mode (to come in the next changeset).
Add support for softfp cross compilers to the GCC and GLIBC
configuration. Needed for Ubuntu and other distros that are softfp.

Update all the samples, so that there is not config-prompt when
recalling samples. This is no upgrade, it's just about having
new options set (y or n) in the samples.
Also, get rid of the armeb-test_nptl-linux-uclibcgnueabi, it's no
longer needed, there's a non-test sample with uClibc NPTL, now.

Change CT_ExtractGit so that it clones the repository, instead of just
symlinking it. After cloning, any given ref is checked out, or if no
ref is given, the HEAD of the repository is checked out.
This makes CT_Extract behave similar for git repositories as it does
for tarballs, so that it for example can be used for passing glibc-ports
as a git repository.

Currently, we check host feature in ./configure. This works only for
cross toolchains, but not for canadian toolchains. ./configure has
absolutely no way to know what the host for the toolchain will be;
only the build scripts know.
So, move the headers & libraries checks from ./configure to the build
scripts, early enough in the build, but not before we know the host
compiler and other tools.

The GOLD linker is written in C++. Pass CT_CFLAGS_FOR_HOST as
CXXFLAGS to configure so that any host specific flags are passed
through.
It feels a bit funny passing CFLAGS as CXXFLAGS, but the PPL and GCC
target rules already do the same.

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.

Add 'build', 'build-*', and 'install' as phony targets to the top level
Makefile.
I tend to do everything in tree with the build in a directory called
'build'. This interfered with the target 'build', making it think the
target was up to date, and stopping scripts/crosstool-NG.sh from being
regenerated.
Added 'install' as I often set the prefix to $PWD/install.

Even if the current process is highly parallel, crosstool-NG spends most
of its time in single-job steps on fast machines (with a 12-CPU system,
I approximate the parallel vs. non-parallel time to be in the order os
1 to 3; that is crostool-NG spends two-thirds of its time running
non-parallel jobs).
Some steps to build gcc can be paralleled, gaining a litle bit of time
on the whole compilation.
