Instead, prepare the files as a part of bootstrap and install them.
This avoids rebuilding these files in each working directory; they
don't change anyway as they are generated from the same installed

- libpthread requires iteration over multilibs, unlike the core, it
does not detect and build multilibs by itself.
- Disable parallel builds for mingw-w64 components; until mingw-w64 core
builds clean, I am not trusting it.
- Make the list of tools to build configurable
- Turn on multilib in x86_64 sample.
- Make warnings about tuple less redundant. As in, "one WARN is enough,
no need to shout it three times".
- Messages about various steps/substeps are more aligned with the rest
of the components.
- Use 'make' instead of ${make} to invoke the companion make just built,
if applicable.

... enabled by default for multilib and disabled otherwise. Buildroot
has been complaining about /etc/ld.so.conf presence for almost a year
now and I missed that.
After the release, xldd will be modified to query the compiler for
the list of multilibs to search. This would be too invasive change
before 1.23, though.
Note that it may lead to configurations where xldd currently does not
find the libraries (if both DEMULTILIB and CREATE_LDSO_CONF are turned
off). This is not the default setting in Kconfig, though.

It turns out buildroot does not currently accept a toolchain where a dynamic
linker does not reside in the multi-os-directory. Unfortunately this is
how glibc installs itself on AArch64 without any extra tricks.
So, provide an option to force everything into /lib or /usr/lib; patch to
buildroot will be worked on separately.

This partially reverts commit 88e8852ccd.
Bring back releases 2.12 and newer of glibc, along with the associated
Kconfig machinery. Simplify it slightly.
... these are apparently not needed with the current kconfig and only
result in warnings like "SYMBOL changed state" and "reassigning SYMBOL".
Perhaps, it was necessary to run kconfig without first generating
config.gen? But now all the targets that invoke $(CONF) have
`config_files` as a dependency.

This serves two purposes:
- installs its manpage
- installs headers, without them it does not make sense to install a

Rather than requiring them of a certain version, detect if they are present
(and have sufficient version) and select an appropriate companion tool
otherwise. The reason is that, for example, most recent gettext requires
automake 1.15, but the newest available CentOS has 1.13. Hence, the option
to "upgrade your system" does not apply, and the warning comment above
the companion tools is rather scary.
With this approach, it will work out of the box - either by using the host's
tools, or by building them as needed. Note that the user can still change
the setting in the config.
While there, propagate the new version checking macro to awk/bash/host binutils,
and switch from --with-foo=xxx to officially blessed FOO=xxx: the latter
does not require checking for bogus values (i.e., --with-foo, --without-foo)
and AC_PROG_* macros recognize the corresponding settings without further
modifications. For now, I kept --with-foo=, if only to complain and steer
people to the new way. To be cleaned up after a release.
