Most of the extract tools (gzip/bzip/..) we already check for explicitly
in dependencies.sh (as they are used outside GENTARGETS), but not for
xzcat.
The .xz format is used fairly rarely, and it is likely to not be available
on build hosts, so an explicit (hardcoded) check for it isn't optimal.
Instead, add the inflate tools used to DL_TOOLS_DEPENDENCIES, similar to
how we do it for svn/git/bzr/...

Newer versions of GDB need pthread debugging support if threads are
enabled, which is always the case for glibc but is a configure option
for uClibc.
We have solved this for internal toolchains by selecting the
BR2_PTHREAD_DEBUG option from the GDB selection if needed, but as this
option isn't available when ctng/external toolchains are used, mconf
prints ugly warnings and the build may fail if an external uClibc
toolchain without pthread debugging support is used.
Fix it by introducing 2 more hidden config options:
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED
The first tells us if the toolchain HAS pthreads debugging support,
and is checked by check_uclibc_feature in helper.mk for external uClibc
based toolchains.
The second tells us if the toolchain is ABLE TO provide pthreads debugging
support if threads are enabled, either because it's an internal toolchain
where we can force enable it or an external glibc/eglibc toolchain or
uClibc with the option enabled.
Crosstool-ng forcibly enables this support, so those will always work.
The preconfigured uClibc-based toolchains we have also all enable it.
Finally, show a comment if this isn't the case so the (external toolchain)
user knows why. This is placed outside the choice option, as menuconfig
has a bug where it doesn't show choice selections which only contain
comments.

Currently, the dependencies target (that runs dependencies.sh) depends on
DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ. This means that the dependencies listed in
DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ (currently host-sstrip if sstrip is selected) are
built *before* the dependencies.sh script is run.
As a result, if e.g. there is no gcc compiler present on the build system, the
dependencies in DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ will fail to build, and buildroot
will fail non-gracefully.
This patch makes sure that the DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ are checked *after* the
dependencies.sh script, so that any problem in the build system is reported in
a clean way by dependencies.sh.

When the user has Perl local::lib installed, its environment contains
a PERL_MM_OPT variables which defines
INSTALL_BASE="/some/location". Unfortunately, having this makes the
build of libxml-parser-perl (and probably other Perl related packages)
fail, because it complains that both PREFIX (passed in our .mk file)
and INSTALL_BASE (passed from the PERL_MM_OPT environment variable)
are defined. Since in Buildroot we want our PREFIX to be considered,
we error out when the user has PERL_MM_OPT defined.

Some CodeSourcery toolchains contain a huge number of locales that are
not useful, even though they account for 70-80% of the total toolchain
size. By skipping the extraction of those useless locales, we make the
toolchain extraction process slightly faster, and also make the output
directory size a lot smaller (host/opt/ is 213 MB instead of 1.5 GB
with a 2010.09 ARM CodeSourcery toolchain).

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
