binutils: allow the selection of upstream binutils 2.29 for ARC

2017-11-29T22:34:04+00:00

As of today quite a lot of ARC stuff got merged in upsream such that we may finally use upstream realease for building and even running Linux kernel and rootfs built with vanilla binutils. Essentially upstream release is still a bit behind our GitHub-based releases but let's try to use vanilla version and if we're lucky enough with just a small set of back-ported patches we'll be able to use vanilla release(s) for everything in Buildroot.

toolchain: Bump ARC tools to arc-2017.09-rc1

2017-10-08T14:10:27+00:00

This commit bumps ARC toolchain to arc-2017.09-rc1. The arc-2017.09 series is built on top of upstream GCC 7.1.1 and Binutils 2.29 so please expect all kinds of breakages related to GCC 7.x as we saw earlier with the move from 4.8 to 6.x :) Note patches for both GCC and Binutils were updated with copies from corresponding mainline versions, i.e. "package/gcc/7.2.0" and "package/binutils/2.29". Please note that it is a release candidate and it might contain some breakages, please don't use it for production builds.
