Add support for building toolchains with gcc-4.4 snapshots.
Initial patch by Dmitry PLOTNIKOV: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2009-03/msg00053.html
It [the toolchain] uses current ct-ng (nightly snapshot 20090324, latest
release 1.3.2 work also), glibc 2.9 (from CVS), binutils 2.19 and latest
snapshot of GCC 4.4.0 (as of March 20, 2009).

We have successfully built linux kernel 2.6.29 and a lot of other stuff
with this toolchain.

Here's the patch that adds GCC 4.4.0 to the ct-ng menu and enables it to
download a 4.4.0 snapshot from ftp.

Patch was adpated by me, mostly to better fit the configuration layout.

      Add support for the Signal Processing Engine.  This will set up
yann@1181
    11
      the toolchain so that it supports the SPE ABI extensions. This

      mainly targets Freescale e500 processors.

      Setting this option will append "spe" to the end of your target
yann@1181
    15
      tuple name (e.g., powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe) so that the gcc
yann@1181
    16
      configure/build system will know to include SPE ABI support.
yann@1181
    17
      It will also automatically add "-mabi=spe -mspe" to your
yann@1181
    18
      TARGET_CFLAGS, and "--enable-e500_double" to your CC_EXTRA_CONFIG,
yann@1181
    19
      so you do not need to explicitly add them.
