(e)glibc doesn't support a fully statically linked userspace. Even a
basic program such as Busybox fails to do authentication due to glibc
loading some libraries dynamically. Therefore, we disable the
possibility of building a glibc toolchain when
BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB=y.

The glibc and eglibc support has been introduced since a little bit of
time now, I believe we can remove the "experimental" statement next to
it.

The only remaining thing in toolchain-buildroot/Config.in.2 is the
inclusion of the elf2flt option. It doesn't really make sense to have
a separate Config.in file for that, so let's move this to
toolchain-buildroot/Config.in.

The support for eglibc 2.17 was added to the internal toolchain
backend for 2013.08. This commit now adds glibc 2.18 support to the
internal toolchain backend.
Since the building procedure is very similar to the one of eglibc, we
have renamed the 'eglibc' package to 'glibc', and made it capable of
handling either glibc or eglibc.

Using the newly introduced 'eglibc' package, this commit enables the
option of building a toolchain using the eglibc C library in the
Buildroot toolchain backend.
In details, this commit:
* Creates a choice to select uClibc or eglibc in the Buildroot
toolchain backend (in toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in), and
removes the fact that the Buildroot toolchain backend forcefully
enables uClibc (toolchain/Config.in).
* Creates a BUILDROOT_LIBC variables, which points to the package
implementing the C library (i.e either 'uclibc' or 'eglibc').
* Modifies the gcc-final and gcc-intermediate makefiles to use the
BUILDROOT_LIBC variable instead of hardcoding the use of uclibc.
* Ensures that TLS support is always enabled when building eglibc.

* Convert binutils to a proper autotargets package
* Add version 2.21 and drop version 2.17
* Hook up packaged binutils for target gcc
* Build tools are on HOST_DIR now so change it
* Move cross/host gcc to HOST_DIR
* Drop kludge from commit 3c77bab2ee
This is fixed in the next commit "gcc: install copies of libgcc,
libstdc++ and libgcj to the sysroot" - tested for arm & x86_64
targets.
* TARGET_CROSS now pointed to HOST_DIR too

* ccache is now a normal package (both for the host and the target).
* ccache option is now part of the "Build options" menu. It will
automatically build ccache for the host before building anything,
and will use it to cache builds for both host compilations and
target compilations.
* bump ccache to 3.1.3
