"bfd_configure.lineno" instead of "configure.lineno" as the name of the
a version of the script that has had all uses of $LINENO converted to
literal line numbers.
Now building tools via "MKCROSSGDB=yes build.sh tools" works again, even
if the shell does not support $LINENO.
The previous problem was caused by an interaction
between the way .../gdb/dist/opcodes/configure executes
"${srcdir}/../bfd/configure --version", and the way both configure
scripts tried to create and then execute configure.lineno scripts.
Both configure.lineno scripts were created in the same OBJDIR,
with the configure.lineno from .../bfd/configure overwriting the
configure.lineno from .../opcodes/configure, while the latter was
still running.
1. having the same named file in two different directories (agent.c)
2. trying to override fnmatch twice (easier than making configure mechanism
to not overwrite).

sets PICFLAGS=-fPIC and we pick this via CSHLIBFLAGS to build .o objects.
This breaks the sun2 port, because with -fPIC we end up producing short
relative pic branches for $_exception_handler, so we get relocation errors.
Arguably:
1. MKPIC=no should not set PICFLAGS in bsd.lib.mk
2. CSHLIBFLAGS should not be used in non pic (.o) productions
