[PATCH v3 1/1] configure.ac: configurable tooldir install path

This patch is required to fix how the newlib headers are installed
when using a sysroot install directory.

The cross compiler expects headers to be in
.../host/usr/arm-none-eabi/sysroot/usr/include/newlib.h
by default newlib installed the headers into
.../host/usr/arm-none-eabi/sysroot/usr/arm-none-eabi/include/newlib.h

${exec_prefix} provides the .../host/usr/arm-none-eabi/sysroot path
${target_noncanonical} provides an extra arm-none-eabi/ that must be removed.

With this patch, users can specify the tooldir path that is needed.
