[U-Boot] U-Boot and Builman Toolchains

[Adam Ford]

Tom,

I know that we need GCC 6 or newer to compile GCC, but buildman is
still using older toolchains.

Do you know if there are plans to update buildman to use newer
toolchains?  It seems to be linked to kernel.org, but it seems strange
to me to have the build-in tools like Buildman use a toolchain that we
are not allowed to use for compile.

So, there've been some effort to make buildman fetch toolchains from the
free-electrons toolchain site, but they're not going to be ready for
v2018.01.  I should note in the release email that if nothing else, the
Linaro toolchains are available via tarball in a static manner as it's
what travis uses.
