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

[Dan Kegel <dank at kegel dot com>]

My tendinitis flared up today, so I'm going to try to go offline for
a week, and figured I should put up what I've got.
I'm quite happy with the results of my little GCC_CORE_DIR
change; combinations that were completely nuts before
(gcc-4.0.0 + glibc-2.2.2) work, at least for x86.

Changelog:

0.35:
    crosstool.sh:
    * Added GCC_CORE_DIR environment variable; this lets you build
      glibc with an older gcc than the final gcc you're building.
      This required a new gcc patch, gcc-{3.4.3,4.0.0}/fix-fixincl.patch.
    * Modified gcc-{3.4.3,4.0.0}-glibc-2.2.2.dat to use gcc-2.95.3
      to compile glibc.  This fixes an obvious crash bug in static
      apps built by gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.2.2, and lets you build
      gcc-4.0.0-glibc-2.2.2 toolchains, which didn't build at all
      without this.  Note: the build matrix shows the improvement,
      but doesn't give you a clue that the older gcc was used;
      for that you have to peek at buildlogs/*.dat.txt file or all-dats.txt.

    nptl support:
    * not merged yet, but updated patches for nptl support
      in contrib/crosstool-0.34-nptl.patch from
      ftp://ftp.realitydiluted.com/crosstools/crosstool-0.34/
      thanks to Steven Hill.
