scripts, cc/gcc: do not fail on existing symlinks or build.log

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
build.log.

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

Patch (with no SoB) originally from:
Phil Wilshire <phil.wilshire@overturenetworks.com>

Modified by me as it did not apply cleanly.

reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
yann@2369
     4
MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
yann@2173
     5
for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision

     6
floating point instructions by default.

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
yann@2173
     9
sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
yann@2173
    10
from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
yann@2173
    11
the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
yann@2173
    12
were only passing -mno-spe by default."
