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.

     7 The gethostbyname4() lookup method is problematic since it fires out both

     8 the A and AAAA DNS queries in parallel and over the same socket. This

     9 should work in theory, but it turns out that many cheap DSL modems and

    10 similar devices have buggy DNS servers - if the AAAA query arrives too

    11 quickly after the A query, the server will generate only a single reply

    12 with the A query id but returning an error for the AAAA query; we get

    13 stuck waiting for the second reply.

    14 

    15 For gethostbyname4() users affected, disabling IPv6 in the system might

    16 work around the issue, unfortunately it only helps with applications

    17 using AI_ADDRCONFIG (e.g. Firefox); some (notably e.g. Pidgin) neglect

    18 to do that.

    19 

    20 Real fix should be using separate ports for the A and AAAA queries.
