[OE-core] [PATCH] recipes-devtools: fix segfault in lib32-gcc with "." multilib_dir

When enabling a lib32-gcc in a 64 bit build, without doing any
other configuration, the mutilib dir is unspecified, which is
represented internally in gcc as "." and as such uncovers an
invalid free on a non-malloc'd pointer, triggered by that code
path which erroneously checks for equality with "." rather than
inequality.

+Subject: [PATCH] gcc: fix segfault from calling free on non-malloc'd area
+
+We see the following on a 32bit gcc installed on 64 bit host:
+
+  Reading symbols from ./i586-pokymllib32-linux-gcc...done.
+  (gdb) run
+  Starting program: x86-pokymllib32-linux/lib32-gcc/4.9.0-r0/image/usr/bin/i586-pokymllib32-linux-gcc
+
+  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
+  0xf7e957e0 in free () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
+  (gdb) bt
+  #0  0xf7e957e0 in free () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
+  #1  0x0804b73c in set_multilib_dir () at gcc-4.9.0/gcc/gcc.c:7827
+  #2  main (argc=1, argv=0xffffd504) at gcc-4.9.0/gcc/gcc.c:6688
+  (gdb)
+
+The problem arises because the check on whether we are using
+the internal string "." or an allocated one is reversed.
+We should be calling free() when the string is not equal to
+the internal "." string.
