ld.so linked with gold didn't work - gold was not generating
the _DYNAMIC ptr in the first GOT entry, leaving it zero, causing
mayhem for ld.so.
. patch for gold: always generate _DYNAMIC ptr. submitted upstream,
more info here: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16900
. revert "REMOVE ME: Static tests for now" - we can link tests dynamically
This reverts commit 3e0a3993deb831eb5abcd1c1a2cb1246b43f8d1d.

These 2 patches are from upstream binutils and together properly
detect whether -ldl is necessary and available to build ld and gold
in plugins mode, instead of hard-coding its usage always. This lets
us build ld and gold on *bsd and minix systems, which do not have
or need -ldl for dl*() functions.

- Enable installing binutils from the base system.
- Import texinfo which is required for the binutils tools
to be compiled.
- Also adapted the fetch rules to correctly generate the
gitignore files for gcc, and allow the case of multiple
modules in the same directory, as found in gnu/dist.

* Options are prepared for future activation of gold.
Change-Id: Id9618904055e18d1b37f5e9585f775c367ff356e
* Remade patch so it works with minix patch tool.
* New MINIX tar support -ox, so revert back to it
In fetch scripts, tar had been replaced by bsdtar as the prebvious
tar did not support the -o flag under minix, which is required to
prevent usage of tar file stored user and group information.
This introduces portability problems. As our new tar tool now
support that flag revert back to improve portability.
upgrade to NetBSD CVS release from 2012/10/17 12:00:00 UTC
Makefiles updates to imporve portability
Made sure to be consistent in the usage of braces/parenthesis at
least on a per file basis. For variables, it is recommended to
continue to use braces.
