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.

Bizarrely enough, the core gcc are not enough to be able to build a
canadian cross, and a real, full cross compiler is required so that
the canadian cross can be properly built... WTF?!? Sigh...

Add a function that prepares the language configure option.
It is needed in at least two places, some commonalisation is needed. ;-)
Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to print warnings about experimental
languages any more. Anyway, the experimental status is clearly indicated
in the menuconfig. so it should not be a surprise if the build breaks. :-/

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 directories to save/restore
- there are fewer symlinks to create for binutils
- the PATH is shorter

The build dir are created depending on the host (host for that specific
backend, not host for the toolchain). Only the frontends know what host
this is, so only the frontends can create non-ambiguous dirs.

The only user of the static core compiler in pass-1 was the newlib
C library. Now that it is build in a later step, we do no longer
need to build a static core compiler in pass-1.

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...

Currently, we issue the bare-metal compiler from the pass_1 & pass_2
core compilers, because the final gcc breaks while doing so.
This implies we have to build some libces during the start_files step,
instead of the standard libc step. This is the case for newlib.
By adding a backend/frontend infra to the final gcc, we can abstract
what backend to call: the standard backend for non-bare-metal gcc,
and the core backend for bare-metal.
This patch is just an no-op, it just adds the final backend and
frontend without changing the way bare-metal is built, to come in a
subsequent patch.

In some cases, it might be desirable to use the system zlib
Eg. because latest gcc seem to be totally borked when it comes

is *absolutely* *not* needed: we want mulitlib on the target,
not on the host! Sigh... :-(

Add support for building the HTML and PDF manuals for the major
components. Implement for binutils, GCC, GDB, and GLIBC.
Always build all manuals and install a subset. Be explicit about the
subset to reduce the clutter and to avoid getting copies of common
manuals like bfd from all of the sourceware based components. Downside of
being explicit is that you need to update it when a new component
comes along.
Build the manuals as part of the last GCC build, namely 'cc' for glibc
based ones and cc_core_pass_2 for baremetal.

Even if the current process is highly parallel, crosstool-NG spends most
of its time in single-job steps on fast machines (with a 12-CPU system,
I approximate the parallel vs. non-parallel time to be in the order os
1 to 3; that is crostool-NG spends two-thirds of its time running
non-parallel jobs).
Some steps to build gcc can be paralleled, gaining a litle bit of time
on the whole compilation.

If the user builds a toolchain over an existing one, so, without removing
CT_PREFIX_DIR, the build fails as the symlinks already exist, as does the

This can also happen (for build.log) if the user first ran in download-

PPL 0.11+ installs three libs: lippl, libppl_c and libpwl.
libppl_c has a dependency on libpwl (at least for watchdog stuff).
While gcc correctly links with libppl and libppl_c, it does not
pull libpwl in. In case of shared libs, this is not a problem, as
libppl_c has a NEEDED dependency on libpwl. But for static libs,
that does not work. Although libppl_c.la exists and has a correct
dependency on lipwl, somehow gcc misses it. So we have to force
pulling libpwl when needed.
