binutils: split binutils to backend/frontend, a-la cc_core

Move the actual binutils code to a backend function that builds the
required combo of build/host/target as requested by a frontend.

This split is currently a no-op, but is required for the upcoming
canadian-cross rework, where we'll be needing to build two binutils,
one for build/build/target, and one for build/host/target.

This applies to the three binutils:
- GNU binutils
- elf2flt
- sstrip

I tried to use crosstool-ng to generate a toolchain for Linux on big

     4
endian arm with recent versions of gcc, glibc, etc... but had a few

problems.

It appears that the gcc patch (for gcc 4.2.x)
yann@1128
     8
for big-endian arm (240-arm-bigendian.patch) lacks the change attached
yann@1128

to this mail as 240-arm-bigendian2.patch.
