Working upstream toolchain for avr32?

From: Adrian Bunk

AFAIK the latest available AVR32 toolchains are some patched gcc 4.0 and
some patched binutils 2.17, and avr32 is currently the only architecture
in the kernel where upstream of both of them is not capable of building
a kernel for the architecture.

ALthough not technically a requirement, it would be nice if all Linux
kernel archs could be compiled with plain upstream toolchains.

Even more since at some point in the future [1] current toolchains might
no longer be able to compile the then current kernels.

Thanks in advance
Adrian
