[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] gcc: Support configure option --with-linker-hash-style

["Stefan Fröberg" <stefan.froberg@petroprogram.com>]

Hi Thomas

Well, I was just worried that if setting the linking hash style to stone
(aka "gnu") then could
it maybe break builds in some other archs than x86, x86_64 and ARM ?

So I played carefull and made it configurable by choice.

Im not sure but I think that option has been hiding in GCC since 4.x and
buildroot lowest is 4.9.
So if it's okay I can cook another patch where it just set's it in stone
without choice ?

-S-
