Cross-gdb depends on expat and python. If either is missing, cross-gdb will
build successfully, but lacking some features.
Especially, if expat is missing, cross-gdb will be unable to parse the target
description, which may lead to runtime malfunctions and the following GDB
warning:
"Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time"
Hence, expat should be considered mandatory.
On the other hand, the features missing without python are not critical, so
python should not be considered mandatory.
This patch does the following:
- At configure time, warn the user if either expat or python is missing.
- In menuconfig, disable the static build options regarding cross-gdb if no
static version of expat is available, and disable cross-gdb if expat is
missing.

If check_for is able to find the required prog/inc/lib, allow it to
set an arbitrary variable to 'y'. This variable is then pushed down
to the kconfig definition.
For example:
has_or_abort prog=foobar kconfig=has_foobar
If foobar is available, it yields a kconfig variable defaulting to y:
config CONFIGURE_has_foobar
bool
default y
If foobar is missing, it yields a kconfig variable defaulting to n:
config CONFIGURE_has_foobar
bool
Thus it is possible to depends on that variabel to show/hide options:
config SOME_FEATURE
bool
prompt "Some feature"

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.

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.
