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.
More about this issue was already posted at:

Fix this issue by forcing ELF support.

Commit 65e99014 (Remove external source toolchain options) removed
external source-based toolchain support, but there was still a check
for it in gdb.

BR2_VENDOR_GDB_VERSION and VENDOR_GDB_VERSION are no longer settable.
The only user is gdb, and it's totally useless in this case.

* Add a new gdb version for AVR32 in Config.in
* Use a special mirror for this gdb version in gdb.mk
* Do not try to apply patches when the patch directory does not exist
in gdb.mk

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.

To reflect the new output directory hierachy rename the Makefile variable
TOOL_BUILD_DIR to TOOLCHAIN_DIR.

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).
The term gdb-client is deceptive - although it parallels the gdb-server name,
it is actually a full fledged gdb version. I want to use it to debug uClibc
core files on my host system. Although I haven't got that to work yet, I wasted
time figuring out how to do build gdb for the host not realizing it already had
a target. With this documentation change, things would have been a lot clearer
to me.
