complibs: fix using static companion libraries

When building a cross-compiler for a target which uses a file extension for
binaries the symbolic link to cc is not created correctly because the lookup
of the gcc binary is done in a incorrect path

libc/uClibc: fix verbosity level for uClibc >= 0.9.30

uClibc >= 0.9.30 supports three verbosity levels, according to "make help":

V="" - Quiet build (default)
V=1 - Brief build (show defines, ld flags)
V=2 - Very verbose build

I think older versions of uClibc treat V=2 the same as V=1.
For current uClibc, only V=2 shows the full command lines.

scripts/functions: recognise Cygwin build hosts

scripts: use 'hg archive' to create release tarballs

kernel/mingw32: mark as being EXPERIMENTAL

configure: fix --mandir

--mandir points to the base dir of the man pages, so
we have to append our man section below given dir.

scripts: update config.{guess,sub}

Merge.

complibs/ppl: backout #9f0de857cb05

The patch breaks the build on most machines,
while the purpose of the patch is dubious.
So, simply back it out.
