We currently support four versions of binutils in parallel. Let's
just keep the latest two and drop the older ones before the next
one comes around.

This seems to have been omitted over-time.
Using the default Host/Configure seems to work fine.
The last patches to have touched this in a major way were ~10 years ago:
33a0eb3613 ("cosmetic & coherency fixes")
7eb1589875 ("build system refactoring in preparation for allowing
packages to do host-build steps")

This causes various issues in other places that assume that host
binaries are staged in STAGING_DIR_HOST.
Since all the right places use HOST_BUILD_PREFIX, override that instead.
This fixes some issues with quilt on toolchain dirs

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:

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

--enable-plugin is necessary for gcc-ar, gcc-nm and gcc-ranlib to work, which
must be used with GCC 4.9 for LTO to work.
Without this option, gcc-ar etc. will just fail with
sorry - this program has been built without plugin support
Using the normal ar from binutils with GCC 4.9 and -flto will cause linking
with static "convenience" libraries to fail.

The Makefile for binutils creates a broken symlink to "binutils-linaro" in
"trunk/build_dir/toolchain-<target>_gcc-4.9-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2".
Modify the Makefile to point the symlink to the correct directory.

testing uclibc changes is tricky because the final gcc tends to miscompile
uclibc code or barf up internal compiler errors.
install binutils into $(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/initial (without changing the configure
prefix) and copy it from there to $(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/ so that the initial gcc
can be put into $(PATH) for the uclibc build, even if the final gcc
is already installed.
