Thomas Petazzoni f6d0246506 gdb: do not allow gdbserver/cross-gdb build in some cases
When an external toolchain is used, and the user has chosen to copy
the external toolchain gdbserver to the target, then we should allow
the user to build a gdbserver and/or a cross-gdb: the ones of the
external toolchain should be used.

The reasoning is that one must use a gdbserver and cross-gdb of
identical versions to be sure that debugging will work properly.

Change suggested by Yann E. Morin.

GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is
going on `inside' another program while it executes -- or
what another program was doing at the moment it crashed.
This option allows to build gdbserver and/or the gdb
debugger for the target.
For embedded development, the most common solution is to
build only 'gdbserver' for the target, and use a cross-gdb
on the host. See BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GDB in the Toolchain menu
to enable one. Notice that external toolchains often provide
their own pre-built cross-gdb and gdbserver binaries.

Build the gdbserver stub to run on the target.
A full gdb is needed to debug the progam.
