scripts: support extra host compiler flags

Allow the user to configure extra flags to pass to the host compiler
at build time. Applies to both C and C++.

Useful on Ubuntu to turn off the stack protector and fortify defaults
so the program stands a better chance of running on other distros.

2011-10-05Pass CXXFLAGS to binutils/gold.
Michael Hope <michael.hope@linaro.org> [Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:15:45 +1300] rev 2697
Pass CXXFLAGS to binutils/gold.

The GOLD linker is written in C++. Pass CT_CFLAGS_FOR_HOST as
CXXFLAGS to configure so that any host specific flags are passed
through.

It feels a bit funny passing CFLAGS as CXXFLAGS, but the PPL and GCC
target rules already do the same.

binutils/binutils: added 2.21.53 snapshot

binutils 2.21 doesn't recognise the Cortex-M3 SVC instruction when
assembling with -mcpu=all. This was fixed by the 2.21.53 snapshot and
is needed to build RTOSs such as FreeRTOS.

2011-09-29config: add a 'auto' value for the number of parallel jobs
Michael Hope <michael.hope@linaro.org> [Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:40:42 +1300] rev 2695
config: add a 'auto' value for the number of parallel jobs

When CT_PARALLEL_JOBS is -1, set the number of parallel jobs to the
number of online CPUs + 1. Update documentation to match.

I find this useful when building in the cloud. You can use the same
.config file and have the build adapt to the number of processors
available. Limited testing shows that NCPUS+1 is faster than NCPUS+0
or NCPUS+2.

2011-09-29Makefile: use phony targets
Michael Hope <michael.hope@linaro.org> [Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:27:54 +1300] rev 2694
Makefile: use phony targets

Add 'build', 'build-*', and 'install' as phony targets to the top level
Makefile.

I tend to do everything in tree with the build in a directory called
'build'. This interfered with the target 'build', making it think the
target was up to date, and stopping scripts/crosstool-NG.sh from being
regenerated.

Added 'install' as I often set the prefix to $PWD/install.

nits:
- fix the spelling of changing.
- 'chose' is the correct past tense.
