This patch is only the first step. It got me past gmp and mpfr. This has 
been good enough to build a cygwin toolchain with a host gdb, which in 
turn has been used to compile, debug and run a kernel :).
Maybe this is also good enough for a first check-in, is it?

I see that more work is ahead of me before I can build the rootfs, and 
it would be good if I can verify my understanding of what needs to be 
done, using mpfr as an example:
-I need to change package/mpfr/mpfr.mk (hardcoded extensions, maybe 
strip cmd).

-This package/mpfr folder is the only place where I can make changes; 
anything else about the mpfr module just downloaded / configured code, 
right?
