So again due to non-technical reasons (lack of public documentation
of ARC instruction set which we actively work on but no yet published)
we missed upstream 2.30 release.
Still the code is there, we regularly run full test-suite and are confident
in port's quality and robustness.

ARC port of Glibc was submitted to the mailing list recently [1]
but due to late submission it didn't make it in Glibc 2.29 release.
Hopefully by the time of next release it will be a part of upstream
release but for now we have to use off-the-tree patch.
Still it's proven to work internally as well as its test-suite
shows brilliant results as might be seen from [1]:
------------------>8-------------------
Summary of test results:
24 FAIL
5124 PASS
27 UNSUPPORTED
19 XFAIL
------------------>8-------------------
Moreover ARC's Glibc port is known to work in Buildroot, OpenEmbedded
and even Automotive Grade Linux distro so we should be good having
this patch for Glibc.
BTW the patch itself is a copy of the one I use in OE, see [2].

- Force building make as a companion tool if host make is older than
4.0 (CentOS 7 currently has 3.82)
- Disable 2.29 as a choice if host python is older than 3.4
(CentOS 7 has 2.6 unless python from EPEL is installed)
- Python2 emits its version information to STDERR. Ugh.
While there, also use the detected host Python for GDB configuration.

- GLIBC requires a fix to work with binutils 2.30 on aarch64. This fix
relies on binutils 2.24 or newer, which is okay for glibc 2.26 since
it needs 2.25 or newer anyway. But older glibc versions are now pinned
to binutils 2.29 or older on aarch64.
- xtensa needs patches in libgcc with gcc 7.3.
- comment in newlib's patch to indicate it is a reversal of a commit.

Also fix test-packages: it was saving the output from CT_DoLog into
the checksum file. Also use one file per version.

Binutils 2.29 are more picky about versioning of common symbols.
Fix two offenders in glibc versions as applicable.

... in addition to -mfloat128 that glibc 2.26 adds. GCC7 needs both,
GCC6 does not and chokes on unknown option.
