Glibc is currently configured without any "--enable-kernel" option.
This causes it to use the oldest possible kernel API, slowing it down
and preventing it from using any kernel features from later versions.
Since we are likely building a kernel and matching glibc together,
backwards compatability is probably unnecessary so this patch
unconditionally configures glibc with --enable-kernel set to
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST.

After switching to a two stage gcc solution, there is no longer a need
to do weird things in the glibc build. We can greatly simplify
GLIBC_CONFIGURE_CMDS to only do the configuration, and let the
existing GLIBC_BUILD_CMDS do the build.

Currently, the internal toolchain backend does a three stage gcc
build, with the following sequence of builds:
- build gcc-initial
- configure libc, install headers and start files
- build gcc-intermediate
- build libc
- build gcc-final
However, it turns out that this is not necessary, and only a two stage
gcc build is needed. At some point, it was believed that a three stage
gcc build was needed for NPTL based toolchains with old gcc versions,
but even a gcc 4.4 build with a NPTL toolchain works fine.
So, this commit switches the internal toolchain backend to use a two
stage gcc build: just gcc-initial and gcc-final. It does so by:
* Removing the custom dependency of all C libraries build step to
host-gcc-intermediate. Now the C library packages simply have to
depend on host-gcc-initial as a normal dependency (which they
already do), and that's it.
* Build and install both gcc *and* libgcc in
host-gcc-initial. Previously, only gcc was built and installed in
host-gcc-initial. libgcc was only done in host-gcc-intermediate,
but now we need libgcc to build the C library.
* Pass appropriate environment variables to get SSP (Stack Smashing
Protection) to work properly:
- Tell the compiler that the libc will provide the SSP support, by
passing gcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes. In Buildroot, we have
chosen to use the SSP support from the C library instead of the
SSP support from the compiler (this is not changed by this patch
series, it was already the case).
- Tell glibc to *not* build its own programs with SSP support. The
issue is that if glibc detects that the compiler supports
-fstack-protector, then glibc uses it to build a few things with
SSP. However, at this point, the support is not complete (we
only have host-gcc-initial, and the C library is not completely
built). So, we pass libc_cv_ssp=no to tell the C library to not
use SSP support itself. Note that this is not a big loss: only a
few parts of the C library were built with -fstack-protector,
not the entire library.
* A special change is needed for ARC, because its libgcc depends on
the C library, which breaks building libgcc in
host-gcc-initial. This looks like a bug in the ARC compiler, as it
does not obey the inhibit_libc variable which tells the compiler
build process to *not* enable things that depend on the C
library. So for now, in host-gcc-initial, we simply disable the
build of libgmon.a for ARC. It's going to be built as part of
host-gcc-final, so the final compiler will have gmon support.

To be able to use top-level parallel make we must not depend in a rule
on the order of evaluation of the prerequisites, so instead of relying
on the left to right ordering of evaluation of the prerequisites add
an explicit rule to describe the dependencies.
We cannot use the pattern rules because they must have the same
dependency for every package, but we need to change the dependencies
depending on $(2)_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR variable value, so we must use a
more flexible way like $(2)_TARGET_% variables.
So add explicit dependencies for the following stamp files:
$(2)_TARGET_EXTRACT
$(2)_TARGET_PATCH
$(2)_TARGET_CONFIGURE
$(2)_TARGET_BUILD
$(2)_TARGET_INSTALL_STAGING
$(2)_TARGET_INSTALL_TARGET
$(2)_TARGET_INSTALL_IMAGES
$(2)_TARGET_INSTALL_HOST

This commit makes the dependency from the target toolchain explicit.
This way we can buid from command line a package that use
inner-generic-package right after the configuration phase, example:
make clean <package-name>
Also remove TARGETS_ALL because the only purpose was to add toolchain
dependency so it's superseded by this commit.
To prevent circular dependency add the new variable
<pkgname>_ADD_TOOLCHAIN_DEPENDENCY to avoid adding the toolchain
dependency for toolchain packages.
This is also a step forward supporting top-level parallel make.

glibc 2.19 has been released recently
(https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00224.html). This
commit allows to build a toolchain with this new version. In order to
allow this, we add a version selection that did not exist for
glibc. We default to 2.18, which was the only supported version until
now, and add an option for 2.19.
For microblaze, which uses a specific glibc version, the version
selection choice is not displayed.

As Samuel Martin noticed, libthread_db is not only needed when
cross-gdb+gdbserver is used, but also when the native gdb is used on
the target. As a consequence, this patch modifies the glibc package
and the external toolchain logic to ensure that libthread_db is copied
to the target either when the native gdb or gdbserver is enabled, by
relying on the BR2_PACKAGE_GDB option, which is enabled when native
gdb and/or gdbserver are enabled.

Until now, the copy_toolchain_lib_root function took as argument the
base name of a library (e.g: libm.so), and was assuming that the usual
scheme libm.so.<x> being a symbolic link to the real library was used.
However, with musl based toolchains, the C library is named libc.so
directly, with no symbolic link at all. Therefore, this commit changes
the copy_toolchain_lib_root to move the responsibility of using a
wildcard or not after the library name the caller's responsibility.
So, all the existing LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS values are modified to have a
.* at the end, so that the behavior is effectively unchanged.
