In some cases, it might be desirable to use the system zlib
Eg. because latest gcc seem to be totally borked when it comes
to multilib, and tries to build a multilib host zlib, when it
is *absolutely* *not* needed: we want mulitlib on the target,
not on the host! Sigh... :-(

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.

Add an option to specify the hash type that gcc will ask the linker to use.
It is a provision for the upcoming 4.7, as no version currently supports it.

Hide the staticaly linked libstdc++ option if the static libstdc++ is not
present, detected at configure time.
Add a blind option that says whether static linking is possible at all.
It defaults to 'y', but depends on the needed CONFIGURE_* options. For
now, it only depends on static libtdc++, but new dependencies can be
easily added.
Hide the global static toolchain option behind this new option.

This patch promotes the PKGVERSION and BUGURL options to toolchain level so that
all toolchain components supporting them can benefit from them.
These options are passed to configure through --with-pkgversion and
--with-bugurl.
They are supported by binutils 2.18+, gcc 4.3+, eglibc 2.9+ and gdb 7.0+.

Make it explicit that a variable is an array bu the name of the variable.
It will be used later when .config gets munged to allow both multiple
arguments and arguments with spaces at the same time to be passed from the
configuration down to the build scripts.

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.

While GMP and MPFR are required by gcc>=4.3 (to build the frontends),
and MPC is required by gcc>=4.5, the other libs are not. If they are
present then gcc will enable advanced features; if they are missing,
then gcc will (should) simply disable those features.

For some scenarii, libmudflap is not very usefull
or can break the build. Make in an optioon that
defaults to 'N' to be on the safe side.
For the core gcc-s, there is absolutely no need
to build libmidflap.
