Add support for building SPARC targeted toolchain.
With this patch I have built a working sparc V8 (32 toolchain).
Testing shows that not all gcc versions works well:
4.4.1 OK (kernel builds and the final kernel can boot)
4.4.2 Not tested
4.4.3 Not tested
4.4.4 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.4.5 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.5.1 BAD (Build fails with a spill related ICE - http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35664)
4.5.2 OK (kernel builds and boots)
I have successfully been using the 4.5.2 version for a few months.
This patch does not add support for the LEON variant.

PPL 0.11+ installs three libs: lippl, libppl_c and libpwl.
libppl_c has a dependency on libpwl (at least for watchdog stuff).
While gcc correctly links with libppl and libppl_c, it does not
pull libpwl in. In case of shared libs, this is not a problem, as
libppl_c has a NEEDED dependency on libpwl. But for static libs,
that does not work. Although libppl_c.la exists and has a correct
dependency on lipwl, somehow gcc misses it. So we have to force
pulling libpwl when needed.

So far, we've had a version always select appropriate _or_later option,
which in turn would select all previous _or_later options.
Because the dependencies on companion libs were cumulative, that was
working OK. But the upcoming 4.6 will no longer depend on libelf, so
we can't keep the cumulative scheme we've been using so far.
Have each release family select the corresponding dependencies, instead
of relying on selecting previous _or_later.

By default, recent versions of glibc and eglibc will build some
functions that take format strings (eg. printf, syslog...) with
run-time checks against some format string attacks. This is
called a fortified build.

version of syslog, with some kind of circular dependency...

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...

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.

It seems that using pre-generated locale data can be more problematic

Offer a config knob to enable/disable use of the pregen locale data.
Also, do not extract pregen locales data ourselves, it's broken.
I was unable to make the cross-ldd from uClibc to work, and
it is not possible to build it on non-POSIX system.
Besides, we have a generic script that is in the starting-blocks
to replace it, that will work for any C library, and also will
work on non-POSIX systems. Bonus!
uClibc >= 0.9.30 supports three verbosity levels, according to "make help":
V="" - Quiet build (default)
V=1 - Brief build (show defines, ld flags)
V=2 - Very verbose build

For current uClibc, only V=2 shows the full command lines.

Accept a local tarball name as the source of the Linux kernel headers,
rather than forcing the user to use either an upstream tarball, or a

Some components have configuration options that can depend on
generic options, so they should go below those.
uClibc for example:
- has its own options (wchar...)
- uses the generic options (threads...)
- if linuxthreads chosen, offers two impls
So we need to be able to split the components options in 2,
one part that is above the generic options, and one part that
ends up below the generic options.
