binutils: the cat should always succeed when building config.cache

There is a race condition between when the CONFIG_SITE list is generated and
then used here via the cat to create the config.cache and in *all* configure
scripts when reading from CONFIG_SITE.

The race in this case is that the sstate setscene task runs on a package that
contains a site config file (ncurses in this case) and then bitbake decides
that it needs to rebuild and cleans out the site config file, so it existed
for siteinfo_get_files() to find in SITECONFIG_SYSROOTCACHE and then was removed
for the rebuild. When bintuils tried to run the do_configure() task which creates
the binutil's version of config.cache it reads from CONFIG_SITE which now contains
the non-existant site config file. (confused yet ;-)?

Currently the configure script does a test -r to ensure the file is readable
before using it, therefore having the cat succeed regardless of the file being
available is consistent behaviour.
