This modifies the definition of DOWNLOAD to receive two arguments:
the first one is the full URL of the file to download, whereas the second
(and optional) is the name the file will have once downloaded.
Same thing with the SOURCE_CHECK_WGET and SCP functions.
All calls to these functions have been changed to the shortest form of
the new API, except for toolchains acquisition. Since there is quite a
number of different toolchains this call to DOWNLOAD is better set to the
generic one.

When an external toolchain is used, it is very likely that it contains
a pre-built version of a gdbserver that has the same version as the
cross-gdb included in the external toolchain. So, we now provide an
option that allows to copy this pre-built gdbserver to the target.
As the location of the gdbserver in the external toolchain is not
standardized, we only support the CodeSourcery and Crosstool-NG
layouts for the moment. Other locations can be added later.

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.

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.

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 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).
