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.

This change switches ARC tools to the most recent arc-2016.03
version.
ARC GNU tools of version arc-2016.03 bring some quite significant
changes like:
* Binutils v2.26+ (upstream commit id 202ac19 with additional ARC
* patches)
* GCC v4.8.5
* GDB 7.10

Note in this change we're adding sha512 checksums for
both binutils and gcc tarballs fetched from GitHub.
Build and run-tested in nSIM for both ARC700 and ARC HS38.

Now that we have added support for the lastest binutils version 2.26,
it is time to remove the oldest version we currently support, 2.23, in
order to keep only 3 versions: 2.24, 2.25 and 2.26.

This change switches ARC tools to RC2 of the most recent arc-2016.03
version.
Essentially once final release is ready version will be bumped again.
ARC GNU tools of version arc-2016.03 bring some quite significant

* Binutils v2.26+ (upstream commit id 202ac19 with additional ARC patches)

Also in this change we realign custom Buildroot patches for binutils and
gcc for ARC tools. Looks like earlier most of arch-independent patches
for binutils and gcc were either unintentionally removed or not even
added in patch folders for ARC's binutils and gcc. Now arch-independent
patches for binutils-2.26 and gcc-4.8.5 were added in
package/{binutils|gcc}/arc-2016.03-rc2 folders.
Build and run-tested in nSIM for both ARC700 and ARC HS38.

In commit 2f84595394 ("binutils: remove
version 2.22"), binutils 2.22 was removed, but forgot to remove the
corresponding hash from the hash file.

- Rebase patches from 2.25 on top of 2.26.
- Use git format for patches
- remove upstreamed xtensa patches
The first patch [1] is needed to be able to build glibc with binutils 2.26 on nios2.
The second from [2] fix an assertion issue with ld.

This change introduces newer ARC toolchain in Buildroot.
That new arc-2015.12 release doesn't bring any significant changes
but mostly is focused on fixes and minor improvements here and there.
Most noticeable changes are:
* GCC: Source update to v4.8.5
* GDB: Updated to upstream 7.10 release.

I'm happy to update GNU tools for ARC cores to the most recent
arc-2015.06 release.
This release brings following major improvements:
* GCC: source update to v4.8.4
* GCC: C ABI compatibility between MetaWare and GNU toolchains
* uClibc: support for thread local storage and Native Pthread Library (NPTL)
* GDB: updated to version 7.9.1
Also a lot of fixes and improvements has been done, please refer to
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2015.06
for more details.

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.
