Crosstool-NG: error retrieving sstrip.c

[michael <michael at araneidae dot co dot uk>]

Using crosstool-ng 1.3.2 there seems to be a bit of a snag when retrieving 
sstrip.c.  The first problem is that it looks for the local copy under the 
wrong name, as sstrip.c?view=co, rather than plain old sstrip.c

This is definitely a change from earlier versions of crosstool-ng (not 
sure when, though, I'm afraid).

Unfortunately, having retrieved it as a busybox.net checkout, it leaves 
the file saved as sstrip.c?view=co ... which means that the later attempt 
to build fails:

[INFO ]  Installing sstrip
[EXTRA]    Building sstrip
[DEBUG]    ==> Executing: 'i386-build_redhat-linux-gnu-gcc -Wall -o sstrip /scratch/tmp/crosstool-ng/src/sstrip/sstrip.c'

[ALL  ]    i386-redhat-linux-gcc: no input files
[ERROR]    Build failed in step 'Installing sstrip'

Indeed: when I look inside the src/sstrip directory ... the file is called 
sstrip.c?view=co again.

I can see where the problem is happening: scripts/build/tools/200-sstrip.h 
- but the answer isn't very clear yet.
