Support for the SPE ABI was removed in GCC 9. Update the select to
GCC_REQUIRE_older_than_9 so that GCC 8.5 can be selected.

This refreshes the line numbers, removes any fuzz (which would make any
future forward ports easier) and standardizes the patch/file headers
(which makes them easier to read).

To avoid proliferation of versions, I suggest the following policy: the
oldest LTS release still receiving maintenance updates + the most recent
release for distributions that offer LTS releases.
For CentOS, this means CentOS7 and CentOS Stream 9 (since CentOS are all
"long-term support", this is just the oldest and the newest among
currently supported).
For Ubuntu, this means Ubuntu 18.04 (previous LTS are in "security fixes
only" mode) and Ubuntu 21.10. Recent Ubuntu attempts to be interactive
during the configuration of tzdata, required some additional setup.
In the common installation script, the logic for handling a
configured/built local directory breaks if `gmake` is detected as the
make binary; `make distclean` then fails inside the container because
not all systems have `gmake` symlink. Remove that attempt of a
workaround completely, just require that the host directory is clean.

Otherwise, it tries to link against libgcc_eh which is not available
until the final compiler (or previously, the pass-2 compiler) is built.

With libc_headers step before pass-1, there is no need to distinguish
pass-1 and pass-2; they are configured identically (note that with the
current configuration, core pass-2 is only used for win32 - hence, uses
build_libgcc=yes and mode=static).

After 557b9d4, libc_start_files and libc_main steps are performed one
after another. It doesn't make sense, especially since some of the libcs
(glibc, uClibc-ng) go to great lengths to first install start files in
the first step, libc_start_files, only to remove them immediately in the
second step, libc_main.
Current build steps also break in the xtensa newlib configurations, as
it needs to install the custom xtensa headers before building the libgcc
and after 557b9d4, the headers are not installed before libgcc is built
in pass-1.
Therefore, finish what 557b9d4 mentioned but did not do: move header
installation into a new step, libc_headers, and combine libc_start_files
and libc_main into a single step.
This also allows to combine the core pass-1/pass-2 steps, to be done in
a subsequent commit.

This fixes the x86_64-multilib-linux-uclibc,powerpc-unknown-elf canadian
cross example (which currently breaks because the gnulib example assumes
SIGSTKSZ is constant while recent libcs started defining it as a

This was originally an upgrade from 11.1 to 11.2 that fixed moxie-*
samples affected by PR sim/28302. GDB 11.2 landed independently on
master, so just remove 11.1 (one release per upstream branch, please, we
already have lots of version/architecture/host permutations to test).

Starting with GDB9, the release number is only two numbers (with the
last being patchlevel). Therefore, keep two numbers for releases 8 and
below, but just a single number for 9 and up.

Starting with GDB10, it requires support for std::future<> in the
compiler. Such support has not been available on some architectures
until GCC9 (see PR 64735). I haven't determined the exact list of
affected architectures, so decided to make it a broad dependency: for
GDB10+, you need GCC9+.

Restrict kernel to 5.11 and below (support for this arch has been
dropped in 5.12); rename the sample to match its name as printed by
`ct-ng show-tuple` (otherwise, `make saveconfig` does not update the
sample's configuration).

*-moxie*: DTC_VERBOSE is a wobbler, it depends on whether dtc is enabled
on the host machine (if dtc is installed, DTC defaults to 'n' and hence
prevents DTC_VERBOSE from appearing at all). Remove the option from
config file so that its value reverts to the default.
xtensa-fsf-elf: mark configuration obsolete so that it can use GDB 8.1

Run samples through upgrade and fix accumulated breakages:
*-centos6-*: After 2.12.2 retirement, the samples selected most recent
glibc (2.34) which also forced kernels 3.2+. Revert to 2.12.1 and
2.6.32.71, respectively. Interestingly, 2.12.1 was marked as being used
in CentOS6, but the samples selected 2.12.2. Anyway, CentOS6 is EOL now
and glibc 2.12 is going to be marked obsolete, and retired soon.
arc-*: Make TARGET_VENDOR match the sample's name; otherwise `ct-ng
saveconfig` places the config file into a different location.
Fix 'savedefconfig' which was not saving the configuration file version
(CT_VCHECK was set to 'load' after CT_LoadConfig call).

... and the code dependent on them, after the latest wave of obsolete
package removals. This concludes the glorious history of the original
uClibc (non-NG) with lots of kludges removed.
There was a choice here, whether to call the resulting libc "uClibc" or
"uClibc-ng". I opted in favor of giving uClibc-ng the recognition it
deserves, although it had some ripple effect in the ct-ng code.

GCC 4.8 and its prerequisites have been removed by 04dce680, 41d4583a
and e4221734; as a result, 4.8-based version of gcc-oracle became
unbuildable (no valid versions for the prerequisites).
Update the samples to use 4.9.4; which however fails to build on a modern
host GCC. Build fix backported to gcc-4.9 and gcc-5 versions.
Fix binutils-oracle build with host GCC11.

Now that we have a 2-pass build it is no longer necessary to disable
-Werror in glibc.
This partially reverts commits 6ca5f91f ("Disable -Werror for GLIBC for
all ARCH for GCC11."), 215432d3 ("config/libc: Extend glibc 2.32
workaround to include sparc") and 645ee124 ("glibc: Don't build with
-Werror for powerpc64+glibc-2.32").

Per https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/issues/808 build static
libgcc in the first pass which lets us skip the second one. Building
mingw-w64 requires header files in order to build C++ support so mingw
builds core pass 2. This could probably be cleaned up by splitting
libc_start_files into a separate libc_header step. But for now having
core 2 for mingw-w64 and core 1 for the other libcs will have to do.
Anything that previously selected CC_CORE_PASSES_NEEDED now selects
CC_CORE_PASS_1_NEEDED. The same goes for CC_CORE_PASS_2_NEEDED with the
exception of mingw-w64.

Run `ct-ng updatetools` to pick up the latest config.{sub,guess} from
upstream. This picks up support for some new architectures (e.g.
loongarch) and some new variants of existing ones. There is some
refactoring that makes the diff a bit larger but it's fairly easy to
follow.
