cc/gcc: build core compilers for canadian

Currently, we rely on an existing external cross-compiler targetting
the target, to build the C library.

This can pause quite a few problems if that compiler is different from
the one we are building, because it could introduce some ABI issues.

This patch removes this dependency, by building the core compilers
as we do for standard cross, and also by building the binutils and
gcc, for running on the build machine.

This means we no longer need to offer the cross-sompiler selection in
the menuconfig.

     1 This is a somewhat ordered TODO list:

     2 

     3 Recurring tasks:

     4 

     5 - update versions for every tools...

     6 

     7 - update and/or upgrade all samples

     8 

     9 

    10 Non-recurring tasks:

    11 

    12 - update newlib (for enhanced bare metal)

    13   - confirm existing implementation on targets other than AVR32

    14   - try to make it generic, will help for uClibc++

    15 

    16 - multilib

    17 

    18 - Cygwin target (needs newlib)

    19   - so we can build toolchains that generate code for Windows/Cygwin

    20 

    21 - Cygwin host

    22   - so we can build toolchains that run natively under Windows/Cygwin

    23 

    24 - mingw32 target

    25   - so we can build toolchains that generate code for Windows/Win32

    26 

    27 - mingw32 host

    28   - so we can build toolchains that run natively under Windows/Win32

    29     (without requiring Cygwin)

    30 

    31 - uClibc++

    32   - see newlib, above

    33 

    34 - uClinux

    35   - check whether we can use newlib under uClinux (?)
