1. Add support to build a host GCC for building the toolchain …

   A significant amount of users of this project are using it for toolchain
   development. These users need to ensure that their code is warning free
   before submitting it upstream. Let's support this use case by adding a
   configure flag '--enable-host-gcc', which does exactly that:
   * build a host GCC before building other components
   * setting PATH such that this new GCC is used to build the cross
     toolchain
   * enable -Werror for the GCC build
   
   This patch was tested on a Fedora 39 machine (GCC 13),
   with the following modification in a GCC source file:
     #if __GNUC__ == 13
     #error Host compiler in use!
     #endif
   This fails when building without the new flag and does not fail
   when building with latest upstream/master (GCC 14 prerelease).
   
   The '--enable-werror-always' was tested with a warning that showed
   up recently in upstream GCC.
