[PATCH] ARC: build: Better way to detect ISA compatible toolchain

[Vineet.Gupta1@synopsys.com (Vineet Gupta)]

ARC architecture has 2 instruction sets: ARCompact/ARCv2.
While same gcc supports compiling for either (using appropriate toggles),
we can't use the same toolchain to build kernel because libgcc needs
to be unique and the toolchian (uClibc based) is not multilibed.

uClibc toolchain is convenient since it allows all userspace and
kernel to be built with a single install for an ISA.

This however means 2 gnu installs (with same triplet prefix) are needed
for building for 2 ISA and need to be in PATH.
As developers we keep switching the builds, but would occassionally fail
to update the PATH leading to usage of wrong tools. And this would only
show up at the end of kernel build when linking incompatible libgcc.

So the initial solution was to have gcc define a special preprocessor macro
DEFAULT_CPU_xxx which is unique for default toolchain configuration.
Claudiu proposed using grep for an existing preprocessor macro which is
again uniquely defined per ISA.
