debug/gdb: companion libs are not used

Although the gdb ./configure advertises for GMP and MPFR, those libraries
are not used by gdb (the ./configure is used across different packages,
hence the check for GMP/MPFR). See:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-08/msg00168.html

The same applies to MPC.

binutils/binutils: companion libraries are not used

GNU binutils does not use the companion libraries, although
./configure advertises switches for them. This is because the
configure file is shared between different packages, and is
a bit 'lax' about what it checks. See:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-08/msg00160.html

scripts: in case of failed download, remove partial files

It happens from time to time that the server mis-behaves, and breaks the
connection right in the middle of nowhere, for no good reason, leaving us
with a partial file, on which the extract pass would choke.

Remove partial downloads, to fail early.
