cc/gcc: speed up the build a little bit

Even if the current process is highly parallel, crosstool-NG spends most
of its time in single-job steps on fast machines (with a 12-CPU system,
I approximate the parallel vs. non-parallel time to be in the order os
1 to 3; that is crostool-NG spends two-thirds of its time running
non-parallel jobs).

Some steps to build gcc can be paralleled, gaining a litle bit of time
on the whole compilation.

    25       The Embedded ABI (stack alignment of 8 bytes, etc).

    31       Add support for the Signal Processing Engine.  This will set up
    32       the toolchain so that it supports the SPE ABI extensions. This
    33       mainly targets Freescale e500 processors.
    34       
    35       Setting this option will append "spe" to the end of your target
    36       tuple name (e.g., powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe) so that the gcc
    37       configure/build system will know to include SPE ABI support. It
    38       will also automatically add "-mabi=spe -mspe" to your TARGET_CFLAGS,
    39       and "--enable-e500_double" to your CC_EXTRA_CONFIG_ARRAY, so you
    40       do not need to explicitly add them.
