[PATCH, FT32] initial support

[James Bowman]

FT32 is a new high performance 32-bit RISC core developed by FTDI for embedded applications.

This patch adds FT32 support to binutils:

The FSF have acknowledged receipt of FTDI's copyright assignment papers.

Thanks very much.

config.sub should never be patched locally in binutils-gdb; you need to 
get the change into config.git then propose an import of the updated 
config.sub into binutils-gdb.

Your toplevel configure.ac and configure changes don't match (that is, the 
configure change does not look like a correct regeneration after changing 
configure.ac).  Furthermore, I refactored the disabling of subdirectories 
for particular targets in toplevel configure.ac some years ago; you're 
modifying the section for disabling libgcj, but the disabling of other 
subdirectories you also have in the patch needs to go elsewhere in 
configure.ac (whether in the target-libstdc++-v3 section, or the 
miscellaneous section).

The GDB (and sim) port needs submitting to gdb-patches.

Do you have a reason for not using an official e_machine value obtained 
from registry@sco.com?

I'd expect a binutils port to include at least some readelf changes.
