[PATCH] arc: Remove sometimes misleading toolchain check

[Alexey Brodkin]

Thinking of a toolchains for ARCompact and ARCv2 ISAs we implicitly
think about libgcc.a build for one of those ISAs which we're linking
with. And given there's no multiarch uClibc toolchain for ARC
(as probably for any other architecture) the assumption is the only way
to get libgcc.a for desired ISA is from a toolchain built right for that
same ISA.

So what we do we check what's GCC's default architecture ARC700 or not.
But generally speaking default arch makes not a lot of sense if explicit
command line option exist like "-mcpu=archs". In other words exactly the
same GCC might build executables for both ARC700 and ARC HS38.

But in real life libgcc could be easily built on a separate step
independently of the compiler and friends. And that really happens.

For example OpenEmbedded prefers to reuse the same toolchain for both
arches having libgcc built separately.

Anyways given we have plans to get rid of libgcc dependency that change
is sort of future proof.
