scripts: in case of failed download, remove partial files

It happens from time to time that the server mis-behaves, and breaks the
connection right in the middle of nowhere, for no good reason, leaving us
with a partial file, on which the extract pass would choke.

Remove partial downloads, to fail early.

libc/glibc: repair debugging with gdb (glibc 2.9)

Without this patch, crosstool-ng-built glibc-2.9 prevents
debugging any exeutable with gdb.
gdb says:
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
find_new_threads_callback: cannot get thread info: generic error

mingw32: enable sysrooted toolchains

When targeting mingw32, gcc expects to find its include files
in "mingw/include" instead of the traditional "usr/include".

libc/mingw: use pre-set headers dir

There is a variable that contains the headers directory,
so there's no need to re-compute it again.

binutils/sstrip: mark as obsolete

sstrip is causing more trouble and grief than tolerable.
It is broken at least on PPC. It does not build on non-ELF
systems (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...). Plus, it is easy to
install.

Hide it behind OBSOLETE.
