To have better control over the build, GNU Binutils, Bzip2, GNU Gzip, and
XZ Utils have also been added to the pipeline. Some other minor cleanups
and fixes were also implemented throughout the process.

Until now, when a package was to be built statically, we were adding the
`--static' option to `CFLAGS'. This was the wrong place to put it! It
should be in the linking step (thus `LDFLAGS'). Also, based on Bash's
configure script, we are now using the more generic form of `-static'
(single dash, not double dash).
On the other hand, the `--disable-shared' option isn't available in many of
the packages and it is highly redundant with the `-static' option, so it
has been removed to avoid an extra warning in such packages.

To ensure the easy unpacking and building of the programs, Lzip and Tar are
now also build during the initial setup phase.
Some minor corrections were also applied to make things cleaner and
smoother.

Until now, we used semicolons in Make's Call function definitions to build
the programs with GNU build system or CMake. Therefore, if any step of the
process failed, the rest would be ignorant to it and pass. Now, we use `&&'
to separate the different processing steps. In this way, we can be sure
that if any of them fails (during configuration, or building for example),
the pipeline will also stop and not continue to the next command (in the
same recipe).
Since the two Make Call functions were identical in the two
`dependencies-basic.mk' and `dependencies.mk', they are now in one file to
be imported in both.
This bug was found by Raul Infante Sainz.

After a test by Raúl Infante Sainz, we found out that the configure script
and the Make script for Bash and Make are making too many assumptions on
more recent versions of both. As a result, it couldn't be built.
Therefore, the `configure' script was modified to not use more recent tools
like `readlink' (to find the absolute address of a relative one). It was
also re-organized to not have to read the configuration parameters from a
text file. The parameters are directly read from the command-line and are
written into the proper file afterwards. This removes the need to opening a
text editor by the user (which also caused problems on Raúl's system).
To fix the Make version issue, the building of Bash and Make are now done
in a new Makefile (`reproduce/src/make/dependencies-basic.mk'). This file
doesn't make many of the assumptions that were made in
`dependencies.mk'. So it should hopefully work on any version of Make.
To help in debugging, for now, the Makefile of configure, are asked to work
on one thread (the `-j' option is commented in the `configure'). But after
checks, we'll fix this.
