Finally used the discovered paths from ./configure in scripts/crosstool-NG.sh:
- fix Makefile to really, really not used built-in rules and variables
- have scripts/crosstool-NG.sh generated from scripts/crosstool-NG.sh.in
- create a bin-overide directory ( in ${CT_WORK_DIR}/bin ) that contains shell wrappers to the actual discovered tools

./configure: fix the tools pattern recognition
- when a variable name was given, with no regexp, the pattern did not correctly extract the variable name

The glibc.sh script doesn't handle the glibc versions with
an underscore very well (bash expected integer error). I
have attached a small patch for that. Instead of looking
for "not period" I changed the sense to look for numbers.
I initially tried to make it look for either a period or
an underscore, but that didn't work like I wanted (probably
because I did something wrong).

Original patch modified to be more robust.

... I added a step after

into a do_finish function in functions. Thus, it is now
possible to restart after the "debug" step to re-do the
final few things (clean and compress).

Forced-removing of a non-existing directory breaks the build.
Noticed by "Andy Johnson" <ajohnson@aecno.com>, who provided a patch that I adapted.

Fix building ltrace on PowerPC.

ltrace wouldn't build on PowerPC because in the
sysdeps/linux-gnu directory in the ltrace source tree
the powerpc directory is called ppc. I added some code
in 400-ltrace.sh to create a symlink for it so it will
build now.

Patch slightly modified by me before applying.
