This patch introduces support of new boards with ARC cores.
[1] Synopsys SDP board
This is a new-generation development board from Synopsys that
consists of base-board and CPU tile-board (which might have a real
ASIC or FPGA with CPU image).
It sports a lot of DesignWare peripherals like GMAC, USB, SPI, I2C
etc and is intended to be used for early development of ARC-based
products.
[2] nSIM
This is a virtual board implemented in Synopsys proprietary
software simulator (even though available for free for open source
community). This board has only serial port as a peripheral and so
it is meant to be used for runtime testing which is especially
useful during bring-up of new tools and platforms.
What's also important ARC cores are very configurable so there're
many variations of options like cache sizes, their line lengths,
additional hardware blocks like multipliers, dividers etc. And this
board could be used to make sure built software still runs on
different HW configurations.

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------------

-mono -fast -pbb -switch sem5-switch.c \

In case if we're interested in generation of non-binary images
(for example if we want images to be valid .elfs - and that's what we
want for ARC now) we have to instruct Device/Build/initramfs target to
use input file with some extension (in case of ARC it will be
essentially .elf).
Otherwise default binary vmlinux-initramfs (without extension) is used and
resulting images then are binaries instead of elfs.
Now having KERNEL_INITRAMFS_NAME variable it's possible to substitute
default $$(KERNEL_NAME)-initramfs with preferred option like
$$(KERNEL_NAME)-initramfs.elf.

If "findstring" is used without leading and trailing spaces unexpected matches
may happen. For example consider ARC=arc then "findstring $(ARCH)" will
report a false match with "aarch64".
But "findstring $ARCH " (note trailing space) will correctly skip
matches for both "aarch64" and "aarch64_be".
This patch is built-tested against NetGear WNDR3800.

This change adds support for specifying a build ID for kernel modules.
This is done by setting PKG_BUILD_ID to a hexadecimal string, which will
then be passed to the kernel linker. In addition, when this flag is set,
the build ID debug symbol (.note.gnu.build-id) will not be stripped from
the kernel module. This symbol is exported in sysfs by the kernel (if
the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_KALLSYMS) and so can be used to
uniquely identify a version of a kernel module in a running kernel. This
is useful for keeping track of different versions of a module when doing
experiments and development.
Modules that specify the build ID will be ~100 bytes larger (depending
on the length of the build ID specified). There is no size difference
for kernel modules that do not set this variable.

Overriding LD_LIBRARY_PATH for host utilities frequently leads to problems
with host executables loading shared libraries from the staging_dir, leading
to crashes due to incompatible ABIs.
Since most host utilties either embed a proper rpath or are reworked to link
statically we do not need the workaround anymore.
