Subject: [Buildroot] Reduce toolchain options

Hi.
How about we kill non-lfs and non-ipv6 toolchains?
It's 2015 after all, and the size delta is minor:
tar file delta, arm926 uclibc+busybox
=====================================
Threading (NPTL) +153600 bytes
Largefile +20480 bytes
IPv6 +10240 bytes
RPC +61440 bytes
WCHAR +30720 bytes
Benefits:
* Less toolchain options to test/care for in packages
* More bang for the buck for autobuilders with less combinations to test
Even though the size delta would be somewhat more (tiny though) when
adding packages/libraries that's generally offset by the added size of
said packages.
The only downside i can think of is badly designed packages that won't
work well on a non-ipv6 linux kernel. These should be very few, if any.
LFS is a no brainer IMO.
Regards.
