This reverts commit 57f5909285. This was
originally added so that a toolchain could be built on a newer system but
run on an older one. With the benefit of hindsight that is probably the
wrong approach. The best way of achieving that goal would be to use
docker/podman container to provide an environment that is the same as
the oldest supported system and build inside that. The resulting
toolchain should be compatible with the old system and the new one.
Closes#2094

As of binutils 2.41 libbfd.a is not placed directly in the output

Since glibc 2.27 glob interface was changed [1] and so
"glob" & "glob64" symbols require glibc 2.27+.
For us that means if we build Binutils on a machine with glibc 2.27+
produced binaries won't be any longer usable on machines with older
glibc.
As an example [2]: build on Ubuntu 18.04 (with glibc 2.27) and try to run
on CentOS 7.x (with glibc 2.17), you'll see this:
---------------------->8-------------------
ldd ld
ld: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by ld)
---------------------->8-------------------
Now given glob is not really used by Binutils itself (only needed by GDB)
and we build Binutils & GDB separately let's make at least Binutils
more portable.
In theory we may even try to do the same hack for GDB forcing it to use
imported glob implementation. But since GDB is now built strictly by C++
compiler we'll get waaay to many incompatibilities due to multiple changes
of C++ ABI in between GCC 7.5 of Ubuntu 18.04 and GCC 4.8.5 of CentOS 7.x,
so there's no point to even try.

There is a subtle difference when executable bit is a part of the umask.
And at least some versions (Debian/stretch) fail if the resulting mode
would've been different if not for the umask setting.

Although, with such chmods/umasks it is likely that some package installation

Some users (like myself) may want to omit the crosstool-NG version
from the binaries' versioning output, as it can be incredibly long
and not too helpful. Add a config option to disable it. The possible
combinations are as follows:
- crosstool-NG version (default)
- crosstool-NG version - custom toolchain ID
- Custom toolchain ID
- No crosstool-NG version OR custom toolchain ID

On cygwin, creating both "foo.exe" and "foo" results in 'ln -sf'
returning an error ("File exists"). However, ln silently removes
the "foo.exe" in this case, so an attempt to re-run the same command
manually then succeeds.
Hence, make binutils.sh also create symlinks with .exe prefix,
using the new & shiny routine.

The -lcygwin -lc actually breaks the build: elf2flt picks up the symbols for getopt/optarg via
<getopt.h> in binutils-X.Y/include, where optarg is declared without dllimport attribute.
Therefore it pulls in getopt() from libc/libcygwin, but since optarg is not prefixed with
_imp__, it is pulled from libiberty. But the object file in libiberty also contains getopt()
thus resulting in multiple definitions thereof.
While there, kill extraneous -ldl passed into configure - configure detects -ldl successfully.

... and then use the right option. See the note in scripts/functions
on where we should use ${foo} and where just 'foo'; this boils down to
whether we can expect the build tools override to be in effect (e.g. in
the actual build scripts) or not (i.e. outside of scripts/build).
While running in scripts/functions, or in scripts/crosstool-NG.sh the
build tools override directory (.build/tools/bin) may have not been
set up (yet, or at all).
Also, modify the installed scripts (populate, xldd) accordingly.

CT_TARGET is composed as "${CT_ARCH}${CT_ARCH_SUFFIX}", so CT_TARGET may
become something like "armv7", for example. This is used by the configure
script to set the "CPU" variable in the Makefile, leading to a commad line
containing
-DTARGET_armv7 -DTARGET_CPU="armv7"
In this case the compilation of elf2flt.c fails with "Don't know how to
support your CPU architecture??". Passsing "CPU=${CT_ARCH}" in the make
command line overrides the configured value and solves the problem.

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 the stage "core gcc pass-2" the following layout is created:
1) buildtools/bin/TARGET-{ar,as,elf2flt,flthdr,ld,ld.bfd,ranlib,strip}
2) buildtools/TARGET/bin/{ar,as,elf2flt,flthdr,ld,ld.bfd,ranlib,strip}
3) x-tools/TARGET/bin/TARGET-{ar,as,elf2flt,flthdr,ld,ld.bfd,ranlib,strip}
4) x-tools/TARGET/TARGET/bin{ar,as,elf2flt,flthdr,ld,ld.bfd,ranlib,strip}
where both (1) and (2) are symlinks to (3). This effectively renders
core pass-2 gcc with elf2flt linker unusable.

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.

The Xtensa processor architecture is a configurable, extensible,
and synthesizable 32-bit RISC processor core. Processor and SOC vendors
can select from various processor options and even create customized
instructions in addition to a base ISA to tailor the processor for
a particular application.
Because of the configurability, the build process requires one additional
step for gcc, binutils, and gdb to update the default configuration.
These configurations are packed into an 'overlay' tar image, and are
simply untarred on top of the default configuration during the build.

When try to build the static toolchain, binutils failed.
I have checked the libtool script, and found that the following option
-all-static
-static
-static-libtool-libs
are processed in a strange way. If any one of those three options
appears firstly in the cmdline, all others will be neglected. Our
LDFLAGS is ".... -static -all-static -o", so the -static option
takes the real effect, and the -all-static has no useage actually!
that is the cause of the failure.
