binutils/binutils: simplify gold dependencies

In preparation of adding a new kernel-type, Yann D. came up
with a change in semantic on binutils/gold availability.

So far, it was architectures' responsibility to declare that
they did support binutils/gold or not. It makes much more sense
that binutils/gold declares its own availability depending on
the current architecture; after all, architectures have no way
to know wether gold supports them, while gold does know it.

    30       gdbserver >= 7.2 comes with an optional library to use tracepoints,
    31       the In Process Agent (IPA) library, libinproctrace.so.
    32       
    33       Say 'y' if you indend to use tracepoints when debugging your
    34       programs with gdbserver.
    35       
    36       Note: Currently, building this library is not possible when the
    37             gdbserver is built statically. This is a limitation in
    38             crosstool-NG, so do not bug upstream about it...
