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

binutils 2.27 triggers a segfault in elf2flt on ARM/noMMU. While Arnout
has identified a binutils 2.28 commit that can be backported on 2.27,
this commit is huge and we don't clearly understand the impact.
Since both binutils 2.26 and 2.28 are unaffected by this issue, we
simply disallow the selection of binutils 2.27 on ARM/noMMU, and default
to binutils 2.28.
Fixes:

Main updates were made for gcc. It was switched to GCC 6 and to
OSABI v4.
Besides this patch fixes buildroot ARC failures connected to
"crtbeginT.o" object file missing. This issue lead to two main errors:
1) "crtbeginT.o: No such file or directory", e. g. bootutils-1.0.0.
No comments are required here I hope.
2) Errors like "compiler cannot create executables", e.g.:
a) host-gcc-final-arc-2016.09-eng007 static build,
b) aespipe-2.4c.
That was caused because the test to determine if compiler is able to

With this commit we're starting a series of updates of ARC tools.
Significantly rewritten arc-2016.03 tools introduced way too many
problems highlighted by Buildroot autobuilder. Now in attempt to
resolve as many issues as possible by the time final release of
arc-2016.09 tools is cut we'll be executing arc-2016.09 series
with engineering snapshots like this one.
We decided to go this way instead of applying separate patches here
and there because ongoing development introduces quite a lot of
changes and separate patches are not practical in Buildroot.
Moreover this will give us very clean visibility of number of
issues we see (hopefully it will decrease over time).
One of the important changes introduced in this engineering build
is initial set of changes for proper support of PIE on ARC in terms
of both building on host and running on ARC target. I expect some
PIE-related build breakages to go away and new ones will be treated
as the high-priority issues to be fixed ASAP.
For now we only update Binutils and GCC while keeping GDB
as it is of arc-2016.03 release because there're some issues
we'd like to resolve before releasing it to wider audience.
So again note this is one of the first engineering builds of
arc-2016.09 series and it might have all kinds of breakages,
please don't use it for production builds.

Even though this is only RC1 it's been heavily used internally so it should
not be any worse than existing arc-2014.12.
Moreover this relase (and so its RC1) finally delivers support of NPTL
for ARC in uClibc.
That's why it would be good to allow interested users to start trying it
(for example WebKit and apps that use WebKit could be successfully built
and run) also it will be helpful to run that new toolchain through
autobuilder in attempt to find any hidden regressions so we have a solid
toolchain for release.
If there's an interest in that patch more patches will follow with
subsequent RCs and essentially on appearence or relese Buildroot will be
updated with it.

Add a new option BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO that builds gcc and binutils with
LTO support.
Individual packages still have to enable LTO explicitly by passing '-flto' to
GCC, which passes it on to the linker. This option does not add that flag
globally. Some packages detect if the compiler supports LTO and enable the flag
if it does.
To support LTO, ar and ranlib must be called with an argument which triggers the
usage of the LTO plugin. Since GCC doesn't call these tools itself, it instead
provides wrappers for ar and ranlib that pass the LTO arguments. This way
existing Makefiles don't need to be changed for LTO support. However, these
wrappers are called <tuple>-gcc-ar which matches the pattern to link to the
buildroot wrapper in the external toolchain logic. So the external toolchain
logic is updated to provide the correct symlink.
[Thomas:
- Add a separate BR2_BINUTILS_ENABLE_LTO option to enable LTO
support in binutils. This is a blind option, selected by
BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO. It just avoids having binutils.mk poke
directly into gcc Config.in options.
- Remove the check on the AVR32 special gcc version, which we don't
support anymore.
- Adapt the help text of the LTO Config.in option to no longer
mention "Since version 4.5", since we only support gcc >= 4.5 in
Buildroot anyway.
- Fix typo in toolchain-external.mk comment.]
