Hans-Peter Nilsson dc4e1fde36 sim: Fix use of out-of-tree assembler and linker when testing
With commit 7a259895bb2d "sim: testsuite: expand arch specific
toolchain settings", trying to use out-of-tree ld and as at test-time
broke for the "primary target", like when testing a release-tarball.

Subsequent to that commit, all assembler tests without in-tree-built
tools FAIL, getting errors when trying to call
$(abs_builddir)/../gas/as-new.  But, that isn't the actual culprint;
it's actually it's its immediate predecessor, commit 8996c21067373
"sim: testsuite: setup per-port toolchain settings for multitarget
build", which hardcodes in-tree-paths to those tools instead of
considering e.g. $(<X>_FOR_TARGET), the preferred overridable variable
for single-target builds, as set up by the toplevel Makefile.

This commit calls GCC_TARGET_TOOL (a deceptive name; gcc-specific
features aren't used) from toplev/config/acx.m4, somewhat like calls
in toplev/configure.ac but without the NCN_STRICT_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS
step, for each X to find a value for $(<X>_FOR_TARGET).  N.B.: in-tree
tools still override any ${target}-${tool} found in $PATH, i.e. only
previously broken builds are affected.

The variables $(<X>_FOR_TARGET) are usually overridden by the toplevel
Makefile to the same value or better, but has to be set here too, as
automake "wants" Makefiles to be self-contained (you get an error
pointing out that the variable may be empty).  If it hadn't been for
that, SIM_AC_CHECK_TOOLCHAIN_FOR_PRIMARY_TARGET would not be needed.
This detail should only (positively) affect users invoking "make
check" in sim/ instead of "make check-sim" (or "make check") at the
toplevel.  Now the output from "configure" matches the target tools
actually used by sim at test-time, for the "primary target".

Using $(CC) for "example-" targets CC_FOR_TARGET is not changed, as
that appears to be a deliberate special-case.

Note that all tools still have to be installed and present in
$PATH at configure-time to be properly used at test-time.

sim:
	* m4/sim_ac_toolchain.m4 (SIM_AC_CHECK_TOOLCHAIN_FOR_PRIMARY_TARGET):
	New defun.
	(SIM_TOOLCHAIN_VARS): Call it using AC_REQUIRE, and use variables
	AS_FOR_TARGET, LD_FOR_TARGET and CC_FOR_TARGET instead of hard-coded
	values.
	* Makefile.in, configure: Regenerate.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
