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.

    11       The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries

    12       (executables and libraries).

    13       

    14       Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.

    15       This one is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.

    16       Supports big-endian systems.

    17       

    18       NOTE! Please read.

    19         sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few

    20         shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it

    21         does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
