glibc: properly handle internal addons

Some addons are bundled with glibc/eglibc, so we should not try to
download and extract them.

This is done as thus:
- at download time:
- if the add-on download fails, keep going;
- at extract time:
- if the addon is present in the source tree, ignore it;
- if the addon is missing in the source tree:
- if the archive is present, extract it;
- if the archive is missing, bail out.

    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...).
