binutils: split binutils to backend/frontend, a-la cc_core

Move the actual binutils code to a backend function that builds the
required combo of build/host/target as requested by a frontend.

This split is currently a no-op, but is required for the upcoming
canadian-cross rework, where we'll be needing to build two binutils,
one for build/build/target, and one for build/host/target.

This applies to the three binutils:
- GNU binutils
- elf2flt
- sstrip

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
     4 MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
     5 for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
     9 sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
    10 from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
    11 the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
