scripts, cc/gcc: do not fail on existing symlinks or build.log

If the user builds a toolchain over an existing one, so, without removing
CT_PREFIX_DIR, the build fails as the symlinks already exist, as does the
build.log.

This can also happen (for build.log) if the user first ran in download-
or extract-only.

Patch (with no SoB) originally from:
Phil Wilshire <phil.wilshire@overturenetworks.com>

Modified by me as it did not apply cleanly.

    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...).
