43850b301c docs: add a status for know issues 
As time passes, a known issues can be no longer applicable (because
the component has been fixed, or a workaround ahs been added in the
crosstool-NG scripts/config...).

Some may also be unconfirmed, with no way to easily trigger the error,
or applies to old versions of components...

Add a status for every known issues.

dd6ea2508a docs: add an in-depth explanations of the build steps 
The build process is quite complex: gcc is built three times, there are
two C library steps, there are those companion libraries...

People often wonder what all these steps do, and why they are needed.

Recently, someone proposed a tutorial on the crossgcc mailing list:
  http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00059.html

This meant that there was a need for such a tutorial, and explanations
on how a toolchain is built. So i decide to extend my answers:
  http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00060.html
  http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00125.html

into proper documentation in crosstool-NG.

Thanks go to Francesco for suggesting this. He has a fine tutorial
for beginners there:
  http://fturco.org/wiki/doku.php?id=debian:cross-compiler

94be1f470c config: add an option to name the sysroot directory 
Depending on local policies, some users have expressed a need to
have the sysroot be named differently than the hard-coded name.

Add an option for that.
Default to 'sysroot' to match the existing literature.

While at it, replace 'sys-root' with 'sysroot' everywhere we
reference the sysroot.

daca7d6672 config: prepare for build-system backend 
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.
