cc/gcc: disable complibs if not selected

Force gcc to not link with some companion libraries when
there are not needed (because selected-out).

There is no option to tell gcc *not* to build the Graphite and/or
LTO stuff. They *will* be built if gcc finds the suitable companion
libraries. If we do not provide them, but the host has them, then
gcc *will* find them, and link with them.

Consider the following:
- host has suitable PPL and CLooG (eg. Debian Squeeze)
- user wants to build gcc>=4.4
- user de-selects GRAPHITE
- gcc will find the hosts PPL and CLooG, and will use them
- the user moves the toolchain to an older host that does
not have them (eg. Debian Lenny)
- the toolchain fails, when it was properly setup not to

So, explicitly tell gcc *not* to use unneeded companion libs.

     6       Do not use a C library.
     7       
     8       This is usefull if your project is self-contained, does not rely on
     9       an external C library, and provides all the necessary bits.
    10       
    11       Most probably usefull to bootloaders, as they generally don't depend
    12       on the C library.
    13       
    14       If unsure: do *not* choose that, and use another option in the choice.
