construct.

Both core pass-1 and -2 compilers are unconditionally built,
so we no longer require a condition variable.
Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>
Up until now, all conditions requiring a core pass-1 was when the
threading implementation used was NPTL. So we only built the core
pass-1 when NPTL was used.
Now, things have changed (what? when? Dunno...), and some bare-metal
canadian toolchains fail to build if a core pass-1 is not present.
OTOH, a core pass-1, although not needed for non-NPTL builds, does
no harm at all if it is present.
So, unconditionally build a core pass-1 (but still pass conditional
options to the core backend).

Because we now patch configure.in and configure, the Makefile quicks
in a re-build rule as the source files are now more recent than the
bundled generated files, and that fails because the m4 directory
is missing, although on some systems where aclocal is not installed,
the re-build rule does nothing (except a warning).
Always create tht directory.

Now that we are using defconfig files, the samples do not contain

When saving a sample, use savedefconfig instead of copying
the full .config file.
This reduces the saved .config, and reduces clutter when it
is later upgraded.
Also use defconfig when retrieving a sample.

Autoconf can determine that the correct install command includes flags,
e.g., "/usr/bin/install -c". When using this as a command, we can't
enclose the value in double-quotes, as that makes some shells use the
whole expression as a filename:
# this is the value returned by autoconf and stored in CT_install
$ ins="/usr/bin/install -c"
# if we call it with quotes, the command is not found
$ "${ins}"
bash: /usr/bin/install -c: No such file or directory
# removing the quotes lets it work as expected
$ ${ins}
/usr/bin/install: missing file operand

Currently, we rely on an existing external cross-compiler targetting
the target, to build the C library.
This can pause quite a few problems if that compiler is different from
the one we are building, because it could introduce some ABI issues.
This patch removes this dependency, by building the core compilers
as we do for standard cross, and also by building the binutils and
gcc, for running on the build machine.
This means we no longer need to offer the cross-sompiler selection in
the menuconfig.

There really is no good reason to install the core compilers in their
own places, one for each pass. We can install them with the other
build tools.
Also, this implies that:

- there are fewer symlinks to create for binutils
- the PATH is shorter

Currently, newlib is built in the start_file step, which is wrong, but was
needed when the baremetal integration was... well, 'unfinished'.
Now that we build the baremetal compiler from the final cc step, and a

step do_libc, where it belongs.

In case we build a baremetal compiler, use the standard passes:
- core_cc is used to build the C library;
- as such, it is meant to run on build, not host;
- the final compiler is meant to run on host;
As the current final compiler step can not build a baremetal compiler,
call the core backend from the final step.
NB: Currently, newlib is built during the start_files pass, so we have
to have a core compiler by then... Once we can build the baremetal
compiler from the final cc step, then we can move the newlib build to
the proper step, and then get rid of the core pass-1 static compiler...
