buildtools: move to working directory

There is absolutely *no* reason for the buildtools (wrappers to gcc, g++,
as, ld... for the local machine) to be in the toolchain directory. Moreover,
they are removed after the build completes.

Move them out of the toolchain directory, and into the build directory (but
yet the part specific to the current toolchain). This means we no longer
need to explicitly remove them either, BTW, but we need to save/restore them
for the restart feature.

    11       The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries
    12       (executables and libraries).
    13       
    14       Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.
    15       This one is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.
    16       Supports big-endian systems.
    17       
    18       NOTE! Please read.
    19         sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few
    20         shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it
    21         does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
