Glibc toolchains already select locale and whar support.

I'm not sure why you need this version.

Actually I would suggest to use the Linaro aarch64 2018.05
(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_LINARO_AARCH64) because it's the toolchain recommended
and used by Nvidia.

See: https://developer.nvidia.com/gcc-linaro-731-201805-sources

We don't need this if we use the Linaro toolchain.

This is huge, here target directory is only 215Mo after building this defconfig.

[target]$ du -hs .
215M
