Release notes:
We are very sorry to have to report that a problem was found with the
GNU Binutils 2.36 release. It turns out that it contained a small
portion of code that was not covered by an FSF copyright assignment.
So we have created a replacement release - 2.36.1 - with that code
removed.
In addition we found that a fix for a theoretical security
vulnerability[1] was itself broken and could result in the archiver
program "ar" misbehaving. So we have chosen to revert the fix from
the 2.36.1 release whilst the problem is properly resolved.

Now that 2.36.x has been added, that 2.35.x is the default version,
drop support for 2.33.x.
Note that we keep binutils 2.32.x as it is the latest version that
works for FLAT binaries (used on noMMU platforms).

In commit cd9d58f1fc ("toolchain: bumb

are mistakenly pointing to a branch rather than a tag. This commit
fixes that by using the proper release tag.

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.

Now that binutils 2.29 has been introduced, and we have moved to

2.26.x.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
All patches from binutils 2.28 are kept, except patch
0906-microblaze-pr21180.patch, because it has been merged upstream as
of commit bd757ca7bf5886a4025ca02093fca1b8c5ce11a2. Other patches are
slightly adapted to differences that appeared in binutils 2.29.
The patches are now all Git formatted, so instead of having weird
sequence numbers, they have normal sequence numbers starting from 0001
and incrementing.
Since binutils 2.29 is now available as a .tar.xz tarball, we use this
format instead of .bz2 used for previous versions.

binutils 2.28.1 is a bug-fix release of the 2.28.x branch, so let's
