crosstool-0.28-rc35: can fetch and build glibc from cvs

[Dan Kegel <dank at kegel dot com>]

Crosstool is a portable script to build gcc/glibc crosstoolchains.
You can download crosstool snapshots from
  http://kegel.com/crosstool/

Version 0.28-rc35 is ready for testing.
If you've sent me a fix that isn't included, please resend it.

Changelog:

0.28-rc35:
    getandpatch.sh:
    * Fetch glibc from cvs (via script glibc-get.sh) if user asks for glibc-200YMMDD

    glibc-20040827:
    * Brought forward two good patches also needed by earlier versions:
        arm-ctl_bus_isa.patch, glibc-2.3.2-sparc64-dl-machine.patch
      and one kludge (unsuitable for building nptl, but good enough for linuxthreads):
        glibc-2.3.3-libeh-kludge.patch
      Added one tiny patch based on private email from the s390 maintainer:
        glibc-20040822-s390-sysdep_inc.patch
    * brought forward case-insensitive-filesystem patches so it can be built on cygwin

    glibc-2.3.3:
    * brought forward case-insensitive-filesystem patches so it can be built on cygwin

    gcc-3.4.2-20040829:
    * Brought forward gcc-3.4.0-arm-lib1asm.patch, noted that it seems to fix
      http://gcc.gnu.org/PR16314, proposed it be added into 3.4.2 (better late than never)

    Known issues (pretty much same as with rc34):
    * gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.2.5 on i686 doesn't seem happy with linux-2.6.7,
      failed for me with "`__NR_pread' undeclared".  Should be easy to fix.
      Patches welcome
    * gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3, gcc-3.4.1-glibc-20040826:
      target mips fails on "make sysdeps/gnu/errlist.c" with
      sysdeps/generic/bits/types.h:127:3: #error
      It looks like my tricks to prevent real building when doing that make
      are failing, as glibc-2.3.3 and later reconfigure then (but only for mips?!)
      Suggestions welcome
    * gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3 target arm-ixwwm (any softfloat?) fails on glibc build with
      ld-collate.s:6287: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4112)
      Reported as new bug http://gcc.gnu.org/PR17209
      Resembles http://gcc.gnu.org/PR16201 and http://gcc.gnu.org/PR11442
