These ten hold up the wall clock on their own. Their configure stages
run while nothing else does, because the tools build in dependency
order. Measured over a full build, cold cache against warm:
sed 21.68 s -> 1.22 s
m4 21.48 s -> 1.22 s
findutils 19.47 s -> 1.56 s
tar 17.75 s -> 1.47 s
cpio 14.28 s -> 1.26 s
bison 12.81 s -> 1.29 s
patch 12.16 s -> 1.31 s
elfutils 26.58 s -> 15.47 s
Each of the ten configures the same way with a warm cache as it does
without one. The check runs configure three times, without a cache, with
a cold cache and with a warm cache, and compares every file that
configure generates between the first and the last. ncurses fails that
check; these do not.
The only difference left is ac_ct_AR and ac_ct_RANLIB, which a cold run
fills through the fallback path of AC_CHECK_TOOL and a warm run leaves
empty. AR and RANLIB are correct in both, and no generated Makefile
reads the ac_ct_ form.
tools/cmake keeps its 33 s, the longest configure stage in the build. It
bootstraps with its own script rather than autoconf, so this does not
reach it.

Remove upstreamed patch.
Remove HOST_CONFIGURE_VARS. These are not needed any more.
ac_cv_search_setfilecon was removed completely and the others are guarded
by if test "$with_selinux" != no; then now.

In the light of recent XZ events, and fundamental XZ issues lets work on
moving away from using XZ.
So, use gz compressed tarballs as sources whenever possible.
dwarves only offers bz2 compressed tarballs, so use those as size
difference is minor compared to XZ.

dwarves
If the absolute path a symlink is pointing to is 128 bytes long sed
failed with an error message like this: "<path>/sedstbU8O: Not a directory"
This fixes a problem building python seen in the build bot.
This patch is on its way into upstream sed.

A lot of packages (especially those using libtool) depend on sed being
available. xz fails on an incremental build pretty early if it's not
there.
Clean up handling if essential core tools (patch, tar, xz), build them
in parallel and make them depend on sed
