The gdb tarballs have been re-released after a GPL compliance
issue was found:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2011-09/msg00030.html
So all versions were re-packaged.
In the process, an 'a' was appended to the version strings, and
unlike the binutils people, the gdb folks are not inclined in
providing legacy symlinks:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2011-09/msg00036.html
So, this patch fixes the issue by renaming version strings. It is to be
noted that, although the versions got bumped to include an 'a' at the end,
the directory contained in the tarball is still named after the version
string without the 'a'. For example:
- old version : 6.6
- new version : 6.6a
- tarball name : gdb-6.6a.tar.bz2
- directory name : gdb-6.6/
In fact, it does not pose any problem for buildroot, as the extract process
explicitly mkdirs the directory to extract into, *and* strips the first level
of the tree extracted from the tarball.

For some tarballs of gdb (see next patch), the extracted directory is
*not* named after the version string (eg. gdb-6.6a extract into gdb-6.6/)
Create the appropriate directory first, then use --strip-{components,path}
when extracting gdb (the same way it is done for the generic package
infrastructure).
At the same time, get rid of the snapshot special case, because:
1- it's no longer available in the menu
2- it would be handled by the above change

The CONFIG_UPDATE macro is no longer defined in
package/gnuconfig/gnuconfig.mk, but instead in
package/Makefile.autotools.in. It it also changed a little bit to take
the directory of the package sources as argument, and the AUTOTARGETS
infrastructure is updated to use this macro.

This requires removing "deprecated" markings from gdb-6.6, but this isn't
that big of a deal. That is the last version with Blackfin support at the
moment and we're in the process of getting mainlined.

The cross-gdb is supposed to be part of the external toolchain, so
Buildroot does not need to build it. Moreover, GDB_HOST build
currently fail with:
ln -snf ../../bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gdb \
/home/test/outputs/test-48/staging/usr/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/gdb
ln: creating symbolic link `/home/test/outputs/test-48/staging/usr/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/gdb': No such file or directory
And even worse: they overwrite the cross-gdb of the external
toolchain!

When compiling GDB for target (in my case i386) it links
wrong BFD library from host OS. This prevents GDB from compiling
support for ELF and thus GDB is unusable on target.

The GNU_TARGET_NAME symlink and target_utils location were not correctly
adjusted to match the move of the toolchain to $(STAGING_DIR)/usr,
creating dangling symlinks.
git-svn (and git) doesn't handle empty directories, so add .empty files
to those dirs like elsewhere in buildroot.
Those empty directories are normally not a big deal, but the recent changes
to u-boot broke the build.
We used to use different gdb configs for internal and external toolchains
because mconf won't source the same file twice. This works, but is kind of
sub optimal, as people forget to keep them in sync.
Fix it to use the same file for both situations by shuffling around the
config options a bit. Should work identical to before (except for the newer
gdb versions available for ext).
