These patches update Binutils and Glibc to the latest versions, as well as
Linux-Libre headers (I will change from 5.4.16 to 5.4.18 or whatever is
current before pushing).

Glibc 2.31 required patching every GCC version due to a size change that
trips libsanitizer.  It also requires patching older glibc versions due to
an unrelated change, but I'm not sure what the correct fix is.  Try
building glibc-locales@2.29 with these patches to join the quest.

The GCC patches were pretty tricky, and unfortunately required small tweaks
between each version.  I would prefer if someone else tried cherry-picking
the relevant upstream commits to an older GCC and see if they get the same
result I did.  See the patch files for URLs.

Marius Bakke (6):
  gnu: linux-libre-headers: Update to 5.4.16.
  gnu: dnsmasq: Fix build with linux-libre-headers >= 5.2.
  gnu: binutils: Update to 2.34.
  gnu: cross-binutils: Fix xtensa build with Binutils 2.34.
  gnu: glibc: Update to 2.31.
  gnu: libfaketime: Fix build with glibc 2.31.

I dropped the huge cross-binutils patch in favor of a simpler one that
keeps using Binutils 2.33.1 for the ath9k xtensa-elf target.
