Thomas Petazzoni 519d83bfa0 gcc: add support for gcc 6
This commit adds the support for gcc 6. This release allows to remove
a large number of our gcc patches, mainly thanks to the Xtensa and
musl related patches being merged upstream.

Patches kept with no changes:

 100-uclibc-conf.patch
 301-missing-execinfo_h.patch
 810-arm-softfloat-libgcc.patch
 830-arm_unbreak_armv4t.patch
 840-microblaze-enable-dwarf-eh-support.patch
 860-cilk-wchar.patch
 890-fix-m68k-compile.patch

Patches dropped because they have been merged upstream, or were
already upstream backports:

 120-gcc-config.gcc-fix-typo-for-powerpc-e6500-cpu_is_64b.patch (merged)
 850-libstdcxx-uclibc-c99.patch (merged in a different form, see
 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58393)
 870-xtensa-add-mauto-litpools-option.patch (upstream backport)
 871-xtensa-reimplement-register-spilling.patch (upstream backport)
 872-xtensa-use-unwind-dw2-fde-dip-instead-of-unwind-dw2-.patch (upstream backport)
 873-xtensa-fix-_Unwind_GetCFA.patch (upstream backport)
 874-xtensa-add-uclinux-support.patch (upstream backport)
 900-libitm-fixes-for-musl-support.patch (upstream backport)
 901-fixincludes-update-for-musl-support.patch (upstream backport)
 902-unwind-fix-for-musl.patch (upstream backport)
 903-libstdc++-libgfortran-gthr-workaround-for-musl.patch (upstream backport)
 904-musl-libc-config.patch (upstream backport)
 905-add-musl-support-to-gcc.patch (upstream backport)
 905-add-musl-support-to-gcc.patch (upstream backport)
 906-mips-musl-support.patch (upstream backport)
 907-x86-musl-support.patch (upstream backport)
 908-arm-musl-support.patch (upstream backport)
 909-aarch64-musl-support.patch (upstream backport)

Successfully build-time and run-time tested with
qemu_arm_vexpress_defconfig, using gcc 6.x, both in uClibc and musl
configurations.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
