scripts: leave changelog in build dir, copy to install dir

Users tend to look for the build log in the current working directory,
rather than in the toolchain's installation dir. While bundling the build
log in the toolchain installation dir is nice for distribution and review,
it can be easier to have the build log readily available in the working
directory, as it is quicker to get to it.

So, the build log stays in the working directory until the toolchain is
completely and successfully built, and then a (compressed) copy is made.

        sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few

    20
        shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it

        does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
