Newer GCC versions are reported to improve code size on various ARM
devices, which is why newer u-boot versions require them now.
There have also been user reports of data corruption issues fixed on
MIPS by updating from GCC 5 to GCC 7.
This update was previously held up by these two MIPS compile issues,
which have since been fixed:

Configure variable SSP_SUPPORT is ambiguous for packages (tor, openssh,
avahi, freeswitch). It means 'toolchain supporting SSP', but for toolchain
and depends it means 'build gcc with libssp'.
Musl no longer uses libssp (1877bc9d8f), it has internal support, so
SSP_SUPPORT was disabled leading some package to not use SSP.
No information why Glibc and uClibc use libssp, but they may also provide
their own SSP support. uClibc used it own with commit 933b588e25 but it was
reverted in f3cacb9e84 without details.
Create an new configure GCC_LIBSSP and automatically enable SSP_SUPPORT
if either USE_MUSL or GCC_LIBSSP.

GCC supports starting version 5 --enable-default-ssp and starting version 6
--enable-default-pie.
It produces hardened binaries by default without dealing with package
compilation flags.

arc-2016.09 is the most recent toolchain for ARC cores and
it is based on top of upstream Binutils 2.27 and GCC 6.2.1.
With updated major version of GCC we copied all GCC 6.x patches
for ARC as well as Bintils 2.27 patches.
Note that toochain sports ARCv4 ABI and so must be used
with 4.8+ Linux kernels. Even though it will build v4.4 kernel
perfectly fine on attempt to run user-space apps they won't
work with older kernel. That said previuosly sent RFC patches with
Linux kernel update are required:

graphite is disabled by default and it's not worth carrying ppl and

for ARC

-fno-plt and musl-libc patches already get upstream, then dropped
in GCC 6. Other patches are almost identical compared to GCC 5.4.
Compile and run tested on ar71xx/Qihoo C301 and
mvebu/Linksys WRT1900ac v1

This includes binutils, gcc, gdb and uClibc-ng.
Latest release of ARC gcc (as of today it is "arc-2015.06")
is based on upstream gcc 4.8.4.
Sources are available on GitHub, see:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/gcc
Latest release of ARC binutils (as of today it is "arc-2015.06")
is based on upstream binutils 2.23.
Sources are available on GitHub, see:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/binutils-gdb/releases/tag/arc-2015.06
Latest release of ARC GDB (as of today this is "arc-2015.06-gdb")
is based on upstream gdb 7.9.1.
Sources are available on GitHub, see:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/binutils-gdb/releases/tag/arc-2015.06-gdb
Note that for binutils and gdb that come from unified git repository
(which is the case for upstream binutils/gdb today) we need to disable
building of gdb in binutils and binutils in gdb hence in binutils:
------>8------
--disable-sim
--disable-gdb
------>8------
and in gdb:
------>8------
--disable-binutils
--disable-ld
--disable-gas
------>8------
Also in gdb we disable sim because if the following breakage while
building with it:
------------>8------------
/usr/bin/env bash ./../common/genmloop.sh -shell /usr/bin/env bash \
-mono -fast -pbb -switch sem5-switch.c \
-cpu a5f -infile ./mloop5.in \
-outfile-suffix 5
unknown option: bash

Make musl provide libssp_nonshared.a and make GCC link it unconditionally
if musl is used. This should be a no-op if SSP is disabled and seems to be
the only reliable way of dealing with SSP over all packages due to the mess
that is linkerflags handling in packages.
