libc/mingw: do not remove support symlink

Under mingw, it seems that there is a mix between the traditional /usr
directory, and a similar-purposed /mingw directory (both in the sysroot).

Currently, we create /mingw as a symlink to /usr, and we removed it in
the libc-finish step.

Unfortunately, this prevents the pre-processor to find the headers.
Keeping the symlink makes it magically work...

samples: update the samples

Release time is coming at a fast pace. It is now time to
update the samples so they apply cleanly.

The canadian-cross sample mingw32,i686-none-linux-gnu has
been replaced with i586-mingw32msvc,i686-none-linux-gnu.

libc/glibc: add option to force unwind

We make it an option, as not all combinations of architectures
vs. compiler vs. glibc/eglibc exhibit the issue. Mostly visible
on old glibc versions, it seems...

This is a missing part from the glibc/eglibc merger... :-/

cc/gcc: enable plugins if needed

Enabling plugins in binutils is not enough, and gcc also
needs to be ./configured with --enable-plugins, although
this is not documented anywhere... :-/

comptools: add make-3.81

Since the advent of make-3.82, some packages now break due to changes
in make-3.82, being stricter than 3.81 when interpreting the Makefiles.

This has bugged us a bit too much so far, and I believe fixing all
of them is a long road, while simply building make-3.81 is the easiest
route for now.

Of course, in the long term, packages will get fixed upstream, and we
should back-port the fixes to old versions, and get rid of building
make-3.81. In the meantime...

Reported several times on the mailing list.

config: add an option not to remove the destination directory

In certain circumstances, removing the destination/installation directory
is a bad idea. For example, when the build environment is already taking
care of sanitising the build tree, and pre-installs stuff in there, it is
a very bad idea to remove the destination directory.

This happens now in buildroot, as the crostool-NG backend now installs the
toolchain in the common host-tools directory, and pre-install there a few
host-utilities (eg. host-automake and host-gawk).

Provide a config knob to turn on/off the removal of the destination
directory, defaulting to 'y' (previous behavior), and forced to 'n' when
used as a backend.

config/toolchain: force use of sysroot if OBSOLETE is not set

Use of the sysroot is highly recommended, and the non-sysroot case is
both obsolete and not widely tested.

Before the non-sysroot case can go away, deprecate it.

scripts: fix double slash in paths

Computed paths may contain double slashes.
This is not an issue but it is just ugly to look at.

config: add an option to name the sysroot directory

Depending on local policies, some users have expressed a need to
have the sysroot be named differently than the hard-coded name.

Add an option for that.
Default to 'sysroot' to match the existing literature.

While at it, replace 'sys-root' with 'sysroot' everywhere we
reference the sysroot.

libc/glibc: use the common start_files procedure

Use the common procedure, shared between glibc and eglibc. This requires

But still build the full libc with the glibc-specific procedure. This will

libc/mingw: move content of do_libc_headers into do_libc_start_files

It is unnecessary to split C library preparation into two steps, as only
one really makes sense. So, do_libc_headers is bound to be withdrawn
short-term, in favor of do_libc_start_files.

mingw already had all its start files installation in do_libc_headers, and
do_libc_start_files was empty, just migrate the content of the former into
the latter.

libc-glibc: remove 2.3.6

This is an obsolete version which is no longer used by any sample (the only
user, the ia64 sample, has been removed).

It also makes the code path a bit complex, with twists just to accomodate
that version. Removing the version will make those twists go away, and
will ease commonalisation of glibc and eglibc in the future (hopefully!).

arch: remove ia64

ia64 is broken in every gcc/glibc combinations I tested (except for the
existing sample that used very old versions).

Nobody complained on the list about not being able to build recent versions.

So the only way forward I can see is to remove the architecture altogether.
