functions: avoid CR when progress bar is not enabled

Using CT-NG with progress bar disabled, still prints CR ('\r') characters
on the output. When you capture the output to a file as part of an
automated build, it shows extra empty lines.

For example:

------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO ] Performing some trivial sanity checks

[INFO ] Build started 20110404.113619

[INFO ] Building environment variables

[EXTRA] Preparing working directories

[EXTRA] Installing user-supplied crosstool-NG configuration
------------------------------------------------------------

complibs: disable building shared libs

Managing the shared version of the companion libraries
has become cumbersome.

Also, it will one day be possible to use the companion
libraries from the host distribution, and then we will
be able to easily use either shared or static libs.

As a side note, while working on the canadian-rework
series, it has become quite more complex to properly
handle shared companion libraries, as they need to be
built both for the build and gost systems. That's not
easy to handle. At all.

libc/glibc: workaround for autoconf'ed define of caddr_t

When building canadian cross compiler, I have some trouble with
configure defining caddr_t as a macro, like:
#define caddr_t char *

When combined with the types.h where caddr_t is protected together
with daddr_t, the typedef of caddr_t breaks.

This patch works around it by protecting the caddr_t typedef
specifically.

I am uncertain as to the real cause and solution to this :-(

libc/glibc: fix cross-compiling to i686

In OE-lite we use the attached patch for building i686 cross compilers.
Thanks to Khem Raj for original patch :-)

At the same time, remove the corresponding patch that was in
the ports patchset.

libc/glibc-common: force use of the BFD linker

gold can not build glibc/eglibc, force use of the BFD
linker during the toolchain build.

binutils/binutils: add blind option to force use of ld.bfd during build

gold is not capable of building glibc/eglibc, so we have to
force using the BFD linker, ld.bfd.

Offer a blind option that affected components can select to
force use of the BFD linker during the build.
