crosstool: wrong assumption made wrt compression method of source binaries (bz2 vs gz)

["Wolcott, Ken (MED, Compuware)" <Ken dot Wolcott at med dot ge dot com>]

Hi Dan;

  Looks like I found a bug in crosstool :-)  Not sure, please verify.

  Not all compressed source binaries are compressed with bzip2, some are 
compressed with gzip.  Therefore looking for glibc2.2.5.tar.bz2 fails where 
glibc2.2.5.tar.gz would succeed.  Perhaps there should be an attempt to 
download *.tar.bz2 first, and if that fails, then an attempt to download 
*.tar.gz, prior to failing completely.  Also, failing completely, should exit 
the script?  Can't find the required component locally, can't find the 
required component on the web, can't build the cross compiler...rather than 
failing later because the subcomponent isn't there?

  Newbie could be wrong :-)

Thanks,
Ken
