[oe] Latest binutils-cross-2.20.1-r10.0 build issue with binutils-2.20.1 on gentoo host

[Martin Jansa]

FYI:

If you run into issue
ar: can't set BFD default target to `x86_64-pc-linux-gnu': Invalid bfd target

Like I did in:
http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/packages/601631/

Then here is what I used as workarround/hack:
enabled multitarget USE

unmasked and added keywords for 2.20.51.0.8 version

added --enable-plugins --enable-threads to eclass (as noted in changelog
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-05/msg00632.html)

and now binutils-cross compiled fine for me..
