Similar to how we do for target (ee39d53ce3ee (Fix GDB BFD test linking)).
Gdb comes with an embedded copy of libiberty, but binutils also installs
libiberty.a into HOST_DIR. The gdb configure script tries to link against
this one rather than the gdb version when it checks for ELF support.
This may fail if those versions are not compatible, leading to obscure
error messages from gdb at runtime such as:
I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that. Symbol format `elf32-$ARCH' unknown.
Fix it by forcing ELF support.

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 patch fixes the following error when using GDB with gdbserver:
warning: Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time
Remote 'g' packet reply is too long: <very long line of hex chars>
[remote debugging does not work]
Use $(HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) so expat is found.

Since the top level takes care of stripping for us, and some file formats
cannot be stripped safely (like FLAT which will error out), simply punt
the manual stripping from the gdb package.

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.

We have been passing -q to ./configure when using 'make -s' for
packages using Makefile.autotools.in for some time. Do the same
for packages using autotools, but not using the
Makefile.autotools.in infrastructure, taking care to not do it
for packages with hand written configure scripts.

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.
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).
