Related project which is probably too big for a beginner: Move the
bootstrap logic up to the top level Makefile.  Cause libiberty to be
3-staged as well as the gcc directory.  Cause a blind "make" from the
top level to DTRT for native as well as cross compiles.

Hardest bit here is making it behave for a unified binutils+gcc build.
(Should binutils be 3-staged along with the compiler? I can make a
case either way...)
