Easier to define BR2_PACKAGE_BINUTILS that builds all
of binutils and only installs libbfd + BR2_PACKAGE_BINUTILS_TARGET to
install the full version.

Hopefully fixed.

Because these are in STAGE1 (DIR1) where it's completely irrelevant /
doesn't apply and just amounts to misinformation.
gcc-initial doesn't use nor install headers since the extra gcc build
stage was added. Same scenario for libgcc.
They're leftover comments. That's the reason i kept the ones in
gcc-intermediate.

This is from commit 3c77bab2eeace3ee675bd745ca335fa3dd1630bb which does
a symlink trick to make libstdc++ available. It's simpler to just copy
libstdc++ (and libgcj/libgcc while at it) to the sysroot which is fixed
in patch #5 from my series.
