scripts: remove . from $PATH

Add CT_SanitizePath function which removes entries referring to ., /tmp
and non-existing directories from $PATH, and call it early in the
build script.

If . is in PATH, gcc-4.4.4 build breaks:

[ALL ] checking what assembler to use...
/tmp/build/targets/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/build/gcc-core-static/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/as
...
[ALL ] config.status: creating as

i.e. "as" is supposed to be the arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi cross assembler,
but config.status creates a local "as" script which is calling the
host assembler.

     3 Prerequisites and instructions for using ct-ng for building a cross toolchain on FreeBSD as host.
     4 
     5 0) Tested on FreeBSD 8.0
     6 
     7 1) Install (at least) the following ports
     8    archivers/lzma
     9    textproc/gsed
    10    devel/gmake
    11    devel/patch
    12    shells/bash
    13    devel/bison
    14    lang/gawk
    15    devel/automake110
    16    ftp/wget
    17 
    18    Of course, you should have /usr/local/bin in your PATH.
    19 
    20 2) run ct-ng's configure with the following tool configuration:
    21    ./configure --with-sed=/usr/local/bin/gsed --with-make=/usr/local/bin/gmake \
    22    --with-patch=/usr/local/bin/gpatch
    23    [...other configure parameters as you like...]
    24 
    25 3) proceed as described in general documentation
    26    but use gmake instead of make
