Subject: [PATCH] gcc: fix segfault from calling free on non-malloc'd area

We see the following on a 32bit gcc installed on 64 bit host:

  Reading symbols from ./i586-pokymllib32-linux-gcc...done.
  (gdb) run
  Starting program: x86-pokymllib32-linux/lib32-gcc/4.9.0-r0/image/usr/bin/i586-pokymllib32-linux-gcc

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  0xf7e957e0 in free () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0xf7e957e0 in free () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
  #1  0x0804b73c in set_multilib_dir () at gcc-4.9.0/gcc/gcc.c:7827
  #2  main (argc=1, argv=0xffffd504) at gcc-4.9.0/gcc/gcc.c:6688
  (gdb)

The problem arises because we conditionally assign the pointer we
eventually free, and the conditional may assign the pointer to the
non-malloc'd internal string "." which fails when we free it here:

   if (multilib_dir == NULL && multilib_os_dir != NULL
       && strcmp (multilib_os_dir, ".") == 0)
     {
       free (CONST_CAST (char *, multilib_os_dir));
       ...

As suggested by Jakub, ensure the "." case is also malloc'd via
xstrdup() and hence the pointer for the "." case can be freed.
