Subject: [Buildroot] Prebuilt ARC tools are way too old

Hi Thomas,

May I kindly ask you to create a newer prebuilt ARC toolchain
which uses arc-2018.09 GNU tools?

arc-2018.09 is based on GCC 8.2 and has a bunch of fixes as compared to
older tools.

As of today the latest prebuilt ARC tools are br-arcle-hs38-full-2018.11-rc1.tar.bz2
and it's still based on arc-2018.03 (GCC 7.x based).

What's more in ARC config fragment even older tarball is mentioned 
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/support/config-fragments/autobuild/br-arcle-hs38.config#n6

Probably there's not much sense in updating br-arcle-hs38.config with still obsolete
tools and better wait before GCC 8.x based tools are available in prebuilt form.

-Alexey

P.S. Please pardon for bugging you on that topic but we continue to get Autobuilder
     reports with failures which doesn't happen with newer tools and so just
     pollute Autobuilder logs.
