[gccsdk] Trunk binutils configuration options

All,

Last weekend we played around with using GCC 4.7.4 to cross compile
NetSurf (we're still using 4.1.2r2 for CI builds). Mostly this worked
fine without much additional effort (full details in the most recent
four commits on [1]).

One oddity I'd like some input on, however, is the changeset at [2].
Specifically, without this change (which enables binutils plugins),
we cannot use the toolchain to compile OpenSSL (it runs into
difficulty when linking the OpenSSL command line tools).

I'd like to know if this change is safe and also whether it's actually
something that should be the default in GCCSDK itself?

Ta,


J.
