Versions of GNU make newer than 4.4 trigger a hang in versions of glibc
older than 2.31. As distros update to the newer GNU make version we'll
start seeing more and more reports of this hang. Fortunately we already
carry GNU make as a comp tool so all we need to do is select the right
version when needed.

This reverts commit 658f5e574f, which
was made without any justification, and prevents using crosstool-ng
even in decently recent distributions like Ubuntu 20.04 (which has
autoconf 2.69).
We have tested that ./bootstrap && ./configure --enable-local works
fine on Ubuntu 18.04, which uses autoconf 2.69 and automake 1.15, so
the existing requirements were enough.

Add binutils 2.39 and regenerate patches.
0008-binutils-2.38-vs.-ppc32-linux-kernel.patch is dropped as it has
been applied upstream. Add a milestone for 2.39 which will be handy for
Loongarch.
Binutils now requires bison >= 3.0.4 to build gprofng for x86/aarch64 so
we build our own bison when the host bison does not meet that
requirement (which appears to be the case on macOS).

As of Linux v5.3 rsync is used as part of the build process. Add Linux
5.3 as a milestone, configure detection of rsync and a dependency on
rsync for Linux 5.3 and newer. Add a comment in so that users can tell
why they can't select a newer version.
Fixes#1628

This adds support for using picolibc instead of newlib on embedded
systems.

v2:
Add check for meson and ninja
Sync option default values with current picolibc defaults
Remove xtensa sys header file install as those aren't in picolibc
... unless one retrofits it with a decent compiler instead of stock
GCC 4.4.
While here, sync up the ax_*.m4 with autoconf-archive.

- Force building make as a companion tool if host make is older than
4.0 (CentOS 7 currently has 3.82)
- Disable 2.29 as a choice if host python is older than 3.4
(CentOS 7 has 2.6 unless python from EPEL is installed)
- Python2 emits its version information to STDERR. Ugh.
While there, also use the detected host Python for GDB configuration.

- Update to 20180129
- Throw in --disable-db-install if database is disabled; otherwise
'make install' tries to run tic which is not built.
- Select appropriate strip utility for the host; otherwise non-x86
architectures fail to install (unless --disable-stripping is also
added)

from configure rather than substitute it from Makefile. Eventually we
might want to get rid of configure.in completely, doing on-the-fly
checks at the time of `ct-ng build`, but that is left for another day.
