2010-03-17binutils/sstrip: get rid of ELFkickers

binutils/sstrip: get rid of ELFkickers

ELFkickers are looong dead and unmaintained, and the sstrip
from buildroot is working fine *and* is maintained.

2010-03-17binutils/sstrip: depends on ELF
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:24:25 +0100] rev 1855
binutils/sstrip: depends on ELF

No point building sstrip is the target is not ELF.

2010-03-17tools: move sstrip to the binary utilities menu

tools: move sstrip to the binary utilities menu

sstrip is now alone in its 'tools' menu, and we will probably never gain
any other 'tool'. Besides, sstrip is just strip, but a little bit more
agressive, so it deserves going to the 'binary utilities' menu.

2010-03-15debug/gdb: gdb>=7.0 can use MPC, enable for cross-gdb

debug/gdb: gdb>=7.0 can use MPC, enable for cross-gdb

2010-03-20debug/gdb: add handling of 7_0_or_later
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:49:15 +0100] rev 1852
debug/gdb: add handling of 7_0_or_later

We'll need to differentiate gdb 7.0 or later, from gdb prior to 7.0

2010-03-15debug/gdb: add option to use GMP and MPFR
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:51:20 +0100] rev 1851
debug/gdb: add option to use GMP and MPFR

GMP and MPFR are optional for gdb, so offer a config option.

2010-03-15debug/gdb: can't build a static native gdb if using GMP/MPFR
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:44:20 +0100] rev 1850
debug/gdb: can't build a static native gdb if using GMP/MPFR

It is currently impossible to reliably build static GMP/MPFR libs,
so we can't build a static native gdb using them, obviously.

2010-03-15debug/gdb: split menuconfig for easier maintenance
