Re: crosstool-0.35 (core gcc != main gcc) released

[Dan Kegel <dank at kegel dot com>]

config.guess wasn't marked executable, which meant
binutils and gcc were configured with --host="",
which caused strange config failures, with messages like
  checking host system type... config.sub: missing argument
  Try `config.sub --help' for more information.

Reuploaded.
