gold is a new, optimised, multi-threaded linker with support
for plugins.
Add support for gold starting with binutils 2.21. Although 2.20
also had gold, the configure flags have changed, and supporting
2.20 would be a mess in the code.

Add BINUTILS_2_21_or_later blind option. It will be used to add

libelf is used by gcc to build the lto-plugin used
by binutils' gold to perform LTO.
This requires that files in libelf be compiled with
-fPIC to generate a proper .so.

In the previous patches to glibc and uclibc, we standardized on hidden
version names:
LIBC_<LIBC NAME>_V_<VERSION>
This patch updates EGLIBC to be the same for consistency to:
LIBC_EGLIBC_V_<VERSION>

Hidden version names for uClibc conflicted:
LIBC_UCLIBC_V_0_9_30_2

Also update the build script where we use snapshots by version or snapshots by date.

Like rev 2002, eglibc installs some bash scripts, but use the path to the
buildtool bash as the interpreter (on the shebang line). This is only a
symlink to the real bash, and thus is not available at runtime.
Fix that by assuming that shell on the target *will* be /bin/bash.

It appears, that the configure scripts of libelf versions 0.8.13 and
0.8.12 do not honour the --host option. The compiler must be given as an
environment variable or the process will use the command "gcc" as the
compiler.
It seems that this is already done in the function do_libelf_target in
scripts/build/companion_libs/libelf.sh, but not in function do_libelf.
Building non-threaded glibc has been unsupported for a long time, now:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-08/msg00091.html
As eglibc is a spin-off of glibc: ditto.
So do not offer that possibility in the menuconfig.
Thanks to Thomas Petazzoni for spotting, and helping to solve, the issue!

Do not try to strip any script.
Previously, only shell scripts were ignored, but when the Java frontend
is installed, it also installs a Python script. So we have to ignore
any "script text executable", and not restrict it to "shell script text
executable".

Using a list of files to strip misses a few of them.
Now, scan appropriate directories, and strip all ELF
executables and shared objects.

This rules out 0.15.5 and previous versions, that did not
have this option, so remove them from the list. Anyway,
they were marked 'OBSOLETE', so it's not a big loss...

Download to an intermediate temp file, and rename it to its final
name only of download succeeds.
This catches both a failed download, and also the case where the user
interrupts the download. Thus, the a partial download gets discarded,
and we no longer try to extract a partial tarball, which we would
previously have done.

For 4.3 or before, we have to play some tricks:

- trim /usr/lib/libc.so from the result
