Hi all,

Any comments/suggestions on below patch?

It fixes the ARC build which has been broken for a couple of weeks now.

Well, I'm considering reverting my patch that turns the 3 stages build
into a 2 stages build, because it causes too much problems (not only
the ARC one, which you fixed, but also problems related to SSP), and I
don't know when I'll have the time to investigate those problems, which
are not so easy.

If you have some time, and interest in digging into such issues, let me
know, we can probably work together on them.

Best regards,

Thomas

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time in the coming weeks, but Anton (on cc) is actually more involved with ARC GNU toolchain development than I am, and he may be able/interested to spend some time digging into these build problems.

Thanks,
