Unfortunately we decided not to push our recent changes to upstream
due to observed regressions. The plain is to fix those regressions and
submit "more correct" patches upstream.

Still the patches in question are a part of our "reference" toolchain
and really required for building glibc for ARC so let's keep them for now
as they are and hope we'll get them or their equivalents merged in 2.32.

That said it looks like in Buildroot we'll need to have 2 copies of those patches
In 2.30 and 2.31 folder. Care to do that right now or I'll do it a bit later?
