Make them configurable, default to y when build!=host (i.e.
canadian or cross-native) because we don't know what libraries the host
will provide. GLIBC, as previously, selects them explicitly.

This follows the trend set by 1*.sh scripts that configure ISL, GMP,
MPFR, CLooG, etc. Building with shared libraries presents all kinds
of problems:
- The shared libraries need to be installed into ${CT_PREFIX_DIR}.
- The binaries linked against companion libs need to have proper
RPATH, or they're looking for shared libs in
.build/${CT_PREFIX}/buildtools/lib.
- All libraries must agree as to whether they're built shared,
static, or both. Otherwise, gettext tries to link in static libncurses.a
into a shared library and fails (since libncurses was compiled without
the -fPIC switch and hence contains relocations that cannot be handled
in a shared library).
So this fixes the current mess. If we decide to re-enable building
the companion libs shared, we should probably make this dependent on
a separate suboption of CT_STATIC_TOOLCHAIN.
Add a config loosely based on one reported in the issue 274.

In that case, CT_GetCustom just creates a symlink to the original.
In that case, 'cp -a <path> .' gives an error and 'cp -a <path> <newdir>'
creates <newdir> as a symlink (which will then run the build inside
the shared directory, .build/src/<package>).

The referenced commit replaced 'make' with '${make}' everywhere. This is
wrong for at least the utilities that we may build as companion tools
(make, libtool): this will always invoke the version detected by configure
by supplying the absolute path. In other words, the wrappers in
.build/tools/bin are not fallbacks - they are either temporary (in case
a respective companion tool is built) or permanent redirectors.
This is the reason why the PATH= has .build/*/buildtools/bin at higher
precedence than .build/tools/bin; the latter has the versions detected by
configure and the former has the versions built as companion tools.
Revert the rest of the gang (grep/sed/...) for consistency. After all,
we may decide to supply some of them as well (awk, for instance).

On Windows a build failure can be triggered during the
build of the static iconv if a dynamic iconv is already
present:
There's a circular dependency between libiconv and gettext
which (on a system with a dynamic gettext (and thus iconv)
installed in the system prefix) causes a failure to build
iconv.exe statically if it is built with nls ..
.. Which needs gettext
.. which depends on libiconv
.. so libtool finds a dynamically linked libgettext.la
.. and therefore presents ld with the dll import library
libiconv.dll.a when linking iconv.exe
.. as well as the static libiconv.a that it has just built!
.. leading to multiply defined symbols from iconv.
Therefore, we build it without nls. If it later turns out
that we need it to be built with nls, then I will have to
build it in two passes (common practice when bootstrapping
GNU/Linux distros, MSYS2 and probably Cygwin and Homebrew).

We check for apps:
* make
* sed
* grep
* awk
* libtool/libtoolize
* install
* patch
* and more
...during configure. Our scripts should be consistent about using the
variables that define where the found tool was found.
Of course, we do hard-link these tools in buildtools, but that should be
a backup for the components we are building. Our scripts should always
use the tools we find.

.. they're needed for the RPC generation in glibc
on both Cygwin and MinGW-w64.
Neither are built on GNU/Linux and iconv is not
built on Darwin.
Two patches for gettext are needed, one so that
-O0 works and one so that static builds can be
made.
They can take a good while to build, so if not
needed for_host or for_build then they are not
built.
