Merge.

libc/newlib: add latest version

scripts/addToolsVersion: add support for newlib

scripts/addToolVersion: cleanups

scripts/addToolVersion: correctly handle the libc categories

scrips/functions: fix downloads using curl

By default curl doesn't folow redirects. This breaks sourceforge downloads.
Add the -L option to curl to fix this.

Curl also downloads the html as a file even when it gets a 404. This breaks
http downloads when using the failback system. Add the -f option to curl to fix
this.

libc/glibc: correctly handle dual-bitness archs

If the selected ARCH is dual-bitness (eg. supports 32- and 64-bit),
then we need to know the correct place where to fetch some headers.
Currently, this applies only to x86 variants: i386 and x86_64.

scripts/functions: fix extraction

arch/alpha: cleanup Alpha code

config/arch: always select the adequate bitness

Even if the selected ARCH does not support different bitness (or we do
not support building with another bitness), still select the appropriate
bitness.

config/arch: also export bitness as a string

documentation: Remove refs to seemingly native toolchains issue

Remove references to the seemingly native toolchains do not build
issue as it seems to be fixed.

help the helper by telling what extension to retrieve.

config: fix generated config files when GREP_OPTIONS set --color=always

grep is used when generating some .in files (in config.gen). If GREP_OPTIONS
contains --color=always, then the generated files will contains some escape
sequences setting the color, and mconf would choke on those escape sequences.

Always set and export an empty GREP_OPTIONS to avoid that.

scripts: check for, and warn about an unset CT_PREFIX_DIR

The user shall provide a directory to install the toolchain into.
If he/she does not, this is an error, and shall be detected properly,
rather than relying on failure down the road.
