Are those updates needed? We already have a fair chunk of libc which
is not automatically sync'd and going by what is in arch/arm/lib,
there are very few libgcc functions (far less than libc) and each of
those are relatively trivial and unlikely to require updating.

Also, I already know of issues compiling U-Boot on an x64 OS because
of the 32/64 bit incompatibility of libgcc. I never encountered this
because I only have a 32-bit build machine

So the handful of libgcc functions are starting to become a
disproportionate headache

Graeme
