[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4] syslinux and gnu-efi fixes and update

[Thomas Petazzoni via buildroot <buildroot@buildroot.org>]

Hello,

The starting point of this series was fixing gnu-efi build failures
reported in the autobuilders, which PATCH 3/4 addresses. While doing
this, I noticed that gnu-efi would benefit from a bump, which is done
in PATCH 4/4. In turn, while doing this, I noticed that syslinux was
failing to build for EFI targets with recent GCC versions, which is
addressed in PATCH 2/4. And in turn, this made me realize that the
current runtime tests for syslinux use a fixed version of the external
toolchain, which is why we didn't catch that newer GCC versions break
the syslinux build, so PATCH 1/4 changes those tests to use the latest
Bootlin toolchain.

Best regards,

Thomas
