Almost it is done (but not committed yet) in trunk. yValve is present
(but actually this is no danger), but the overall process of library
build became absolutely clear. And (what should be most interesting from
this thread POV) library is built as the first step, right after
building gpre_boot.

It can looks as follows:
1. Build host gpre_boot (can be avoided if one needs no blobs and arrays).
2. Preprocess 2 epp files.
3. Cross-build firebird library.
Seems trivial, specially if one agrees to skip steps 2 and 3 - i.e. for
blob-less client one can simply start cross build of library.

I will commit this soon, and may be client from version 3 will be the
most simple solution.
