2011-09-21kernel/linux: add alternate download locations

kernel/linux: add alternate download locations

Since kernel.org is dead, and there is no announced or known estimated
time or return to normality, it is impossible to download any kernel at
this time.

Add a known-working mirror.

2011-09-14cc/gcc: speed up the build a little bit

cc/gcc: speed up the build a little bit

Even if the current process is highly parallel, crosstool-NG spends most
of its time in single-job steps on fast machines (with a 12-CPU system,
I approximate the parallel vs. non-parallel time to be in the order os
1 to 3; that is crostool-NG spends two-thirds of its time running
non-parallel jobs).

Some steps to build gcc can be paralleled, gaining a litle bit of time
on the whole compilation.

make-3.82 now refuses to have both normal and implicit rules in the
same definition, so document the issue with a known workaround.

2011-08-31cc/gcc: libgcc_eh.a may be required, even from the stage-1 compiler

cc/gcc: libgcc_eh.a may be required, even from the stage-1 compiler

Building uClibc with libubacktrace requires libgcc_eh.a to be available,
but gcc does not build it unless it is configured to generate shared libs.

However, libgcc_eh.a does not *require* shared libs support, as it is a
static library.
