docs: add an in-depth explanations of the build steps

The build process is quite complex: gcc is built three times, there are
two C library steps, there are those companion libraries...

People often wonder what all these steps do, and why they are needed.

Recently, someone proposed a tutorial on the crossgcc mailing list:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00059.html

This meant that there was a need for such a tutorial, and explanations
on how a toolchain is built. So i decide to extend my answers:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00060.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00125.html

into proper documentation in crosstool-NG.

Thanks go to Francesco for suggesting this. He has a fine tutorial
for beginners there:

cc/gcc: do not build plugins for static toolchains

Plugins are shared objects, and when building a toolchain statically,
the gcc build system breaks havok (although there is no hard technical
reasons it should not be possible)...

And consequently, do not enable plugin supoprt in binutils.

libc/glibc: LinuxThreads are no longer supported in latest versions

In fact, it is only supported in a few legacy versions.

Keep LT available for all eglibc versions, although it might need
a similar safeguard...

libc/glibc: only install start files for NPTL

Building the start files requires a shared-capable compiler, which we do
not have when the threading implementation is LinuxThreads.

So, only build the start files when the threading implementations is NPTL.

libc/glibc: add fortify option

By default, recent versions of glibc and eglibc will build some
functions that take format strings (eg. printf, syslog...) with
run-time checks against some format string attacks. This is
called a fortified build.

Unfortunately, this fails somehow while building the instrumented
version of syslog, with some kind of circular dependency...

Disable fortified builds by default, and hide the enabling option
behind EXPERIMENTAL for daring users...

comptools: install them side-to-side with build tools

As companion tools might or might not be used to build each
toolchain, they do belong to that toolchain's build tools,
not to the generic override tools.

Fix a typo in the autoconf URL.

buildtools: the buildtools dir is in fact a prefix

Consider the buildtools install directory as a prefix directory,
that is, install buildtools in prefix/bin/, not in prefix/.

buildtools: move to working directory

There is absolutely *no* reason for the buildtools (wrappers to gcc, g++,
as, ld... for the local machine) to be in the toolchain directory. Moreover,
they are removed after the build completes.

Move them out of the toolchain directory, and into the build directory (but
yet the part specific to the current toolchain). This means we no longer
need to explicitly remove them either, BTW, but we need to save/restore them
for the restart feature.

buildtools: store path to buildtools in a variable

Currently, the buildtools are installed relative to ${CT_PREFIX_DIR}.
Change that by introducing ${CT_BUILDTOOLS_DIR}, which is
still set relative to ${CT_PREFIX_DIR}, but which will make it easy
to change in the future.

scripts: create the makeinfo wrapper before we set PATH

If we set PATH to the tools wrappers before we create the
makeinfo wrapper, then we may well wrap an existing wrapper

internals: fix stripping host binaries

The gcc used by linaro has a version number specific to Linaro, but
identifies itself with its upstream version numbering scheme.

This breaks the strip in the finish step, because the actual gcc version
is not the same as the configured one (eg. 4.5.2 vs. linaro-4.5-2011.02-0).
