This command isn't a standard tool; different distributions have
different implementations, and e.g. Fedora doesn't ship it by
default.
Settle on using "command -v $tool >/dev/null" for tests about whether
a tool is available. (We could also use "hash $tool 2>/dev/null" as we
already had in build-all.sh, but settling on using "command -v"
everywhere, for consistency and simplicity.)
The GCC svn repo is no longer available, and fetching the whole GCC
git repo at around 1 GB is a bit wasteful, when we just need libssp
(which is less than 1 MB), but github provides svn access to git repos,
allowing us to fetch just this subdirectory.
Use "gmake" instead of "make" when gmake is available.
The makefile used for libssp is a handwritten one that requires
GNU make features. mingw-w64 uses automake, which in principle should
work with BSD make, but mingw-w64-headers hangs indefinitely if built
with BSD make.
For build-mingw-w64.sh to succeed when installing to such a path,
the mingw-w64 version has to be updated to the latest git master.
build-mingw-w64-libraries.sh still fails in this case, as libtool
fails to properly quote $LD in a test for whether the linker is GNU ld.
gcc/libssp's configure script runs checks for flags that clang doesn't
implement. We actually just need to set a few HAVE defines and compile
the .c sources, so just check out this subdirectory using svn and build
it using a custom makefile.
