Make binutils 2.17 build for the AVR32 again

binutils-2.17 won't build for the AVR32 with what is currently in
org.openembedded.dev.  The attached patch fixes that, but I haven't tested it
for other architectures.  I think removing "--program-prefix=${TARGET_PREFIX}"
from EXTRA_OECONF will be safe for other platforms, but I'm haven't tested it.

Since binutils for the AVR32 will rerun autoconf, it will use autoconf 2.61,
which changes the semantics of "--program-prefix" when used in combination with
cross-compiling.  This causes the resulting binaries to have names like
"avr32-angstrom-linux-uclibc-avr32-angstrom-linux-uclibc-ar".
