[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] gcc: coexist upstream with vendor git releases for mb and arc

The advantage of this approach is that as soon as upstream gcc
supports the microblaze or arc architecture, the only change required
is to remove depends on !BR2_microblaze or !BR2_arc for that release.

I understand.  See below for a possible fix.  Let me know if you think
this is better.

instead of above do something like

-else ifeq ($(BR2_arc),y)
+else ifeq (BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_8_ARC,y)

and instead of the above possibly

-else ifeq ($(BR2_arc),y)
+else ifeq (BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_9_MICROBLAZE,y)

>>   GCC_SITE = $(call github,Xilinx,gcc,$(GCC_VERSION))

Also, updating the AVR32 code to work in the same manner would probably be best.

Thanks,
Spenser
