Dependency on old make and texinfo versions

[alyptik]

Currently we are depending on older versions of make and texinfo which we have had to vendor. This is due to build errors in the glibc part of our toolchain when uses more recent versions. At some point it would be helpful to patch glibc or find some other solution which more ideal than this.

I've been able to fix many problems with the "native" build by doing the following:

1. Replace nacl-binutils with latest nacl release
2. Replace nacl-gcc with latest nacl release
3. Update native_client/tools/Makefile to have no texinfo for pregcc-standalone via MAKEINFO=missing
4. Add -fgnu89-inline to GCC_CC in native_client/tools/Makefile
5. Update glibc using sed "s/3\.\[89\]/3\.\[89\]\* | 4/" -i configure on configure file to update Make version check

These changes have been reflected on the branches binutils-fix, gcc-fix, glibc-fix, and make-fixes respectively.

I am however now failing in the glibc build during the python script nacl_fixup_ldso.py while getting a mysterious Assert error. I'm amiss to what's causing this.

This seemingly could be due to a non-updated native_client repository.

Per Brendan, using read-elf or obj-dump here against a working version would be helpful at examining this error.
