[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4] arch: not all have support in the internal backend

Hello All!
Not all architectures we support have support in upstream gcc, glibc,
binutils, and/or linux. In some cases, only a few specific cores do not
have that support.
Furthermore, some architecture, specific cores, or core behaviour/setup
(like the MIPS NaN support) got support in a specific gcc version.
Currently, we have to account for this in at least three locations:
- the toolchain backend choice (internal or externsal)
- the gcc version choice
- each external toolchain
This series is a first step, to introduce the possibility for each
architecture, or specific core thereof, to specify that it lacks support
in our internal backend.
The logic is indeed a negative logic, which we usaual try to avoid in
Buildroot. However, the vast majority of architectures and individual
cores do have support with our internal backend; only a few of them
don't, and using positive logic would have meant that that vast majority
would have had to add a new 'select'.
The case for the gcc version will be handled in a follow-up series,
while the MIPS NaN fixes will ber in their own further follow-up.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
