GCC can support using zstd compression for LTO object files. By default
GCC's configure will enable this if libzstd is installed on the machine
building the toolchain. This may be undesirable if the toolchain is to
be used on a different machine. Add an option to control zstd usage and
set the default to the same as the current behaviour (i.e. auto).

In GDB 10.x gdbserver was promoted to the top-level folder,
see https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=919adfe8409211c726c1d05b47ca59890ee648f1
Which means it is no longer a subfolder in "gdb" and so we have to
build gdbserver now exactly in the same way as normal native GDB.
One interesting detail is gdbserver doesn't need to deal with target
description in .xml so it doesn't depend on libexpat on target,
thus we need to move libexpat explicit selection from do_gdb_backend()
to its callers when building native [full] gdb as well as cross-gdb
for the host.

[cp: support old/new layout, regenerate patches]

Older ARC700 processors had atomic instructions (AKA llock/scond)
as an option and so quite some "atomic" operations were not possible
w/o OS support, which we implemented - see arc_usr_cmpxchg() in the
Linux kernel.
And in uClibc, which was the only Linux libc back in the day of ARC700
era, it is well supported. Well, uClibc could be configured to support it.
Which is done with CONFIG_ARC_HAS_ATOMICS Kconfig option.
But the problem is there's no check for ARC ISA version in uClibc when
this option gets enabled. That leads to a funny situation when even for
ARCv2 processors (ARC HS3x & HS4x) uClibc tries to utilize
arc_usr_cmpxchg() syscall which is not supported for this newer ISA since
ARCv2 processors have atomic instructions built-in all the time.
So what was happening here we didn't specify additional "-matomic"
CFLAG unless we were targeting exactly those ancient ARC770 processors
(ARC700 + MMUv3 + atomics) and so even for ARCv2 we forced uClibc
to not use built-in atomics.
And even though there're ways to add a smarter solution here to handle
that pretty rare by now case of ARC750 (ARC700 + MMUv2 - atomics),
I suggest we just remove this part completely, leaving a possibility
to add needed option in uClibc-ng's configuration
(I mean "packages/uClibc-ng/config").

Issue #1535
GCC 10 changed the default to -fno-common, which leads to a linking error in GLibc older than 2.30.
This change adds -fcommon cflag for the target GLibc versions <=2.29 and GCC >=10.
This change also adds additional cflags for the target GLibc to disable
new GCC11 checks that lead to compilation errors.

Explicitly passing --disable-tm-clone-registry causes gcc to create a
crtbegin.o with a zero-sized .init_array/.fini_array. This in turn
causes ld to complain.
Make CC_GCC_TM_CLONE_REGISTRY a tristate so if it's not explicitly

This commit adds a new config that can be used to specify the target

compiled binary size.

This commit adds two additional arguments (`cxxflags_for_target` and
`extra_cxxflags_for_target`) for the gcc backend build function that
can be used to specify custom target CXXFLAGS.
By default, the target CXXFLAGS is set to the target CFLAGS. When
`cxxflags_for_target` is specified however, it overrides that behaviour
and allows setting different target CXXFLAGS from the target CFLAGS.
The `extra_cxxflags_for_target` argument can be used to specify the
extra target CXXFLAGS to be appended to the target CXXFLAGS. This is
useful when it is necessary to append CXX-specific flags to the
existing CFLAGS to be used as the target CXXFLAGS.
A useful application of this is building full and nano versions of
libstdc++ with different target CXXFLAGS as necessitated by
`nano.specs`.

The gcc target libraries (e.g. libstdc++) are currently built without
any optimisation flag when `CT_CC_GCC_ENABLE_TARGET_OPTSPACE` is not
enabled and default to `-O0` unless user explicitly specifies an
optimisation flag.
This commit updates the gcc build script to assume `-O2` for building
target libraries unless user provides a different optimisation flag.
Note also that this is the default behaviour for gcc when
C[XX]FLAGS_FOR_TARGET is not overridden.

Annotated git tags are git objects with their own ID.
They contain the commit ID where they point to.
When downloading from annotated tags, we currently get the following warning:
"Revision being fetched changed to ${new_unique_id};"
The old unique_id is the ID of the annotated tag and the new unique_id
is the commit it points to.
Let's resolve this by first assuming to have an annotated tag and let
git ls-remote dereference it. If that fails (e.g. if it can't be
dereferenced because it is not an annotated tag), then let's proceed as
before and don't do any dereferencing.

In currently generated top-level "nano.specs" we resolve
paths during toolchain building and then use those pre-defined
full paths once the toolchain got built.
That's OK until the toolchain is used right were it was built,
otherwise paths used in the top-level "nano.specs" become
irrelevant and linker fails to find "nano" libs reverting to
non-"nano" libs in the default location.

Some really old GDB releases did have gdbserver's configure
script w/o execution permissions, so there was a need in the fix.
As per Yann most likely it could have been true for GDB versions in
between v5.3 & 6.6. Moreover it could have been fixed on re-release
of GDB tarballs done in 2011, see [1].
And given we no longer support such old GDB versions in CT-NG
(as of today we have 6.8 - 9.2, moreover it's not clear which of
6.8-7.x versions are still being actively used) we'll revert that old hack
for now in a hope that it won't hurt anybody.
Though if somebody sees that problem again
we'll be able to revert this again ;)

If existing board's .specs are used for linking of a user's application,
then instead of normally used libs like libc.a & libstdc++.a might be
requested their "nano"-suffixed siblings: libc_nano.a, libstdc++_nano etc.
That way:
----------------------------->8---------------------------
%rename link_gcc_c_sequence myboard_link_gcc_c_sequence
*myboard_libc:
%{!specs=nano.specs:-lc} %{specs=nano.specs:-lc_nano}
*link_gcc_c_sequence:
%(myboard_link_gcc_c_sequence) --start-group %G %(myboard_libc) --end-group
----------------------------->8---------------------------
Our companion newlib-nano libs are all built optimized for size, so we'd like
to use them for linking. But given linker will see "-lc_nano -lstdc++_nano"
on its command line non-suffixed libs will be ignored.
To solve it we create those "_nano"-suffixed libraries as simple symlinks to
existing libs..
