[OE-core][PATCH] opensbi: force gcc toolchain

[OE-core][PATCH] opensbi: force gcc toolchain

[thomas.perrot]

From: Thomas Perrot <thomas.perrot@bootlin.com>

OpenSBI requires the gcc toolchain to build correctly. Set TOOLCHAIN
explicitly to prevent build failures when using alternative
toolchains.

I am assuming you are having issues compiling it with clang, it would be
good to document whats going wrong.
Since it's a bug to address, openSBI does not intend to use a particular
compiler.

We are figuring out the linker issue when Clang is used as the default
toolchain. We haven't taken the time to figure it out yet.
