[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/5] toolchain: add gcc 10 entry

[Romain Naour]

In order to add gcc 10 support for internal and external toolchain in
follow-up commits, introduce BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GCC_AT_LEAST_10 symbol.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/5] package/gcc: add support for gcc 10

[Romain Naour]

Keep the same patch as for gcc 9.x fixing a parallel build issue:
58ecbbc3ef18c43ae1c02a5c4bf30aa7ef2d8092.

Keep libzstd support disabled for now, it could be used to LTO bytecode.

+Subject: [PATCH] gcc/Makefile.in: move SELFTEST_DEPS before including language
+ makefile fragments
+
+As reported by several Buildroot users [1][2][3], the gcc build
+may fail while running selftests makefile target.
+
+The problem only occurs when ccache is used with gcc 9 and 10,
+probably due to a race condition.
+
+While debuging with "make -p" we can notice that s-selftest-c target
+contain only "cc1" as dependency instead of cc1 and SELFTEST_DEPS [4].
+
+  s-selftest-c: cc1
+
+While the build is failing, the s-selftest-c dependencies recipe is
+still running and reported as a bug by make.
+
+  "Dependencies recipe running (THIS IS A BUG)."
+
+A change [5] in gcc 9 seems to introduce the problem since we can't
+reproduce this problem with gcc 8.
+
+As suggested by Yann E. MORIN [6], move SELFTEST_DEPS before
+including language makefile fragments.
+
+With the fix applied, the s-seltest-c dependency contains
+SELFTEST_DEPS value.
+
+  s-selftest-c: cc1 xgcc specs stmp-int-hdrs ../../gcc/testsuite/selftests

[Buildroot] [PATCH 5/5] package/gcc: switch to gcc 9.x as the default

[Romain Naour]

Even if gcc 8 is still maintained for some time (gcc 8.5 is pending),
switch to gcc 9.x since it has been released since 2019-05-03 and
gcc 10.x is available since 2020-05-07.

We have been having toolchains in the autobuilders with gcc
9.x for a while, so the vast majority of the problems should have
already been solved.

doesn't make a lot of sense.

I've applied, but I have some comments/questions below.

Why are we doing this here, instead of in the binutils package ? This
looks strange.

We haven't had any news/contribution for C-SKY people for quite a
while. I know in recent SoC they have used RISC-V cores, but they were
supposed to continue making C-SKY based SoCs. I am fearing that this
looks like yet another abandoned CPU architecture :-/

Following this, we should drop gcc 7.x support. However, one defconfig
(roseapplepi) still uses gcc 7.x. I've notified Peter Korsgaard on IRC,
and I am doing it here as well: if this defconfig is not updated to a
newer kernel that builds with gcc >= 8.x, we will have to drop support
for this defconfig.

This dependency was added by [1] when we had a gcc 5 fork for or1k.

It here because it's gcc that require a recent enough binutils version.
Maybe we should consider adding BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BINUTILS_AT_LEAST_xxxx.
I think we already have a problem with new cpu variant that require the latest
binutils version.

If every body is ok, then we can drop it.

I'm not sure about this, their gitlab is still active:
https://gitlab.com/c-sky/buildroot/-/pipelines

IIRC we had some news from Guo Ren about the upstream qemu support for csky cpus
