Use the same version as for glibc package.

Seems this bump requires a newer host compiler.  I found this on
Ubuntu 16.04.2  with gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.12) 5.4.0
20160609

BR2_aarch64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_GLIBC=y
BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_4_14=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_CXX=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION_VALUE="4.16.7"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_USE_CUSTOM_CONFIG=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE="board/qemu/aarch64-virt/linux.config"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_OPENSSL=y

make host-localedef

configure: error:
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: compiler
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.

per the INSTALL file, GCC 6.2 or higher is required

I did a build test reverting the 6.2 check (left it checking for 5)
and it built OK.  I'd suggest adding a patch to revert
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=4dcbbc3b28aaeafe23e1a30db84055aa6f6fa987
.

In addition, I agree a host toolchain dependency needs to be added for
5 (unless we also revert
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=192963be49678b48f60218f1f794991cdd9fe472
 to get back to 4.x which doesn't seem like it would work out).

Suggested RFC patch (way back from December 2018) contained already an
'0002-HACK-accept-old-toolchains.patch' to fix configure/compile for
old host toolchains (see [1])..., maybe time to resurrect (and rebase)
this one?

Agree, plus your 0001 for the linker seems to be required as well in
the case I see with using 2019.11.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.

I can provide a buildroot package/localdef patch the next days (but no chance to
test myself as I have no access to an legacy linux system at the moment), or
do you want to take over?

Regards,
Peter
