Thomas Petazzoni 2dff645d3e package/gcc: drop ARC-specific version
A warning was sent to Synopsys ARC people in December 2025 that the
ARC support in Buildroot was poorly maintained and in particular the
ARC-pspecific toolchain components. Despite a reply that some effort
would be made [1], no contributions were actually done. Also, Alexey
Brodkin is no longer at Synopsys. Time to remove Synopsys ARC specific
toolchain and toolchain components.

This commit removes the ARC-specific gcc version.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
