scripts/internals: fix stripping once more

Some scripts have 'very long lines', so the output of 'file'
will have that mentioned, such as:
POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines

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

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.

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).

In case date(1) does not support nanosecond resolution, it does

Note that some versions replaces '%N' with 'N', so we have to

complibs: disable building shared libs

Managing the shared version of the companion libraries
has become cumbersome.

Also, it will one day be possible to use the companion
libraries from the host distribution, and then we will
be able to easily use either shared or static libs.

As a side note, while working on the canadian-rework
series, it has become quite more complex to properly
handle shared companion libraries, as they need to be
built both for the build and gost systems. That's not
easy to handle. At all.

libc/glibc: workaround for autoconf'ed define of caddr_t

When building canadian cross compiler, I have some trouble with
configure defining caddr_t as a macro, like:
#define caddr_t char *

When combined with the types.h where caddr_t is protected together
with daddr_t, the typedef of caddr_t breaks.

This patch works around it by protecting the caddr_t typedef
specifically.

I am uncertain as to the real cause and solution to this :-(

Add support for building SPARC targeted toolchain.
With this patch I have built a working sparc V8 (32 toolchain).

Testing shows that not all gcc versions works well:
4.4.1 OK (kernel builds and the final kernel can boot)
4.4.2 Not tested
4.4.3 Not tested
4.4.4 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.4.5 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.5.1 BAD (Build fails with a spill related ICE - http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35664)
4.5.2 OK (kernel builds and boots)

I have successfully been using the 4.5.2 version for a few months.

This patch does not add support for the LEON variant.
That may come later.

cc/gcc: fix linking with static PPL 0.11+

PPL 0.11+ installs three libs: lippl, libppl_c and libpwl.
libppl_c has a dependency on libpwl (at least for watchdog stuff).

While gcc correctly links with libppl and libppl_c, it does not
pull libpwl in. In case of shared libs, this is not a problem, as
libppl_c has a NEEDED dependency on libpwl. But for static libs,
that does not work. Although libppl_c.la exists and has a correct
dependency on lipwl, somehow gcc misses it. So we have to force
pulling libpwl when needed.
