Allow toolchain files to specify an external toolchain.
Clang can compile code, but uses the gcc tools for other tasks such
as linking. The -gcc-toolchain option can be used for that, but
generalize so that other compilers can be treated the same.
If such a location is specified, use it as a hint for finding
the binutils executables.
