The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

This patch modifies current toolchain build sequence so that
NPTL enabled toolchain can be built. The new sequence works
well with linuxthreads as well.
It introduces a new pass for gcc cross compilation. The new
sequence is binutils->gcc-initial->linux-headers -> uclibc-configured
(some cheats to generate phony shared libc.so and libm.o)
-> gcc-intermediate(with shared lib support) -> uclibc -> gcc-final
I also added a new sample config arm_nptl_toolchain_defconfig which
builds the toolchain and busybox.
I have only tried it on arm. However it should work for other
architectures which support NPTL on uclibc e.g. mips, sh, x86, ppc, x86_64
