Michael Durrant 96e80ad214 package/gcc: re-enable gcc 8.x for PowerPC SPE
The GCC-7.x compiler series was the last to officially support PowerPC
SPE CPUs. Now that GCC-8.x is the default compiler used by Buildroot,
some defconfigs, notably the arcturus_ucp1020_defconfig and
freescale_p1025twr_defconfig ones started to fail building, as they
are PowerPC SPE platforms.

In fact, the GCC-8.x compiler series continues to support PowerPC SPE
CPU cores, but only as an --enable-obsoleted instruction set. This
patch enables the use of GCC-8.x and asserts the required option to
enable the PowerPC SPE instruction set.

This patch passes compilation and run tests with the
arcturus/ppc-ucp1020  board.

This patch should address a noted job failure on GitLab CI

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.
