Huge fixes to glibc build, so that we can build at least (and at last):
- use ports addon even when installing headers,
- use optimisation (-O) when installing headers, to avoid unnecessary warnings (thanks Robert P. J. DAY for pointing this out!),
- lowest kernel version to use is only X.Y.Z, not X.Y.Z.T,
- a bit of preparations for NPTL (RSN I hope),
- fix fixing the linker scripts (changing the backup file is kind of useless and stupid);

Shut uClibc finish step: there really is nothing to do;

Add a patch for glibc-2.3.6 weak aliases handling on some archs (ARM and ALPHA at least);

Did not catch the make errors: fixed the pattern matching in scripts/functions;

Introduce a new log level, ALL:
- send components' build messages there,
- DEBUG log level is destined only for crosstool-NG debug messages,
- migrate sub-actions to use appropriate log levels;

Update the armeb-unknown-linux-gnu sample:
- it builds!
- uses gcc-4.0.4 and glibc-2.3.6,
- updated to latest config options set.

     6 STABS hash table size change, backported from the binutils CVS tree.  Here's
     7 the CVS log comment for the original change:

     9 revision 1.25
    10 date: 2005/12/29 10:29:23;  author: nickc;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -3
    11 (_bfd_link_section_stabs): Use bfd_hash_table_init rather than
    12 bfd_hash_table_init_n(...,251) so that the size of the hash table can be
    13 controlled by the user.
    14 
    15 Note that tunable hash table size changes were added after 2.15.  The effect
    16 of this change is to make bfd use its default hash table size for the stabs
    17 hash as well.
