Thomas Veerman e3209ae766 Import lib{mpc,gmp,mpfr}
This decreases external dependencies for crosscompilation. Note that
these libraries are not built nor used by Minix itself.

Furthermore, the shell scripts that download the tarballs for these
libraries, gcc, binutils, and gmake now also support curl in addition
to wget.

GMP in NetBSD. We need GMP for GCC >= 4.2.
Building GMP without configure - how to port GMP build to a new platform.
The GMP build doesn't map very well to normal make. The ./configure phase
creates a bunch of symlinks and weeds out the sources lists, and there are
files with the same name in different subdirectories linked into the same
final product. All of these issues need to be dealt with.
There are a few steps to this:
- run ./configure, save the output
- create src/external/gpl3/gmp/lib/libgmp/arch/${MACHINE_ARCH} dir,
and copy these files into it:
config.h
config.m4
gmp-mparam.h
gmp.h
mp.h
some of these files might have src/obj references. in particular
fix GMP_MPARAM_H_SUGGEST to start from ./mpn/... and make sure
we #define __GMP_CC to "gcc -std=gnu99". XXX make this automatic
- parse the ./configure output and note all created symlinks
for mpn. these need to be converted into a new Makefile.inc.
there is a script in this subdir build-gmp-Makefile.inc.awk
that can be used to do this. it should just work to generate
the first section of Makefile.inc if fed the entire configure
output.
assembler files generally want -DOPERATION_${foo} defined for
each way they are compiled or pre-processed. the pre-processor
used is m4 to parse, and we and create .s files from the .asm
files that we then we feed into $CC.
The amd64 port is a good reference to compare. The trialdivtab.h
generation may need to be moved the into libgmp/Makefile itself.
This is still a work in progress and methods used to build may be
changed at any time.
