This bug has been fixed upstream and backported to buildroot binutils
package. So let's remove it from toolchain/Config.in and from packages
that are affected by it:
- libgeos
- postgis
- protobuf

    It's not clear to me if all the external toolchains that we use also have this
patch already. Basically that boils down to the stable and bleeding edge bootlin
toolchains.

    Well, I'm pretty sure they're not yet updated, since they're still  2020.08-1...

For this patch we have to wait until all or1k patches have been applied
to Bootlin toolchain and they got rebuilt and bumped.
Then we can apply it since Buildroot will become OpenRisc bug free. But
this depends on external OpenRisc toolchains that only Bootlin provide

Unfortunately libgeos is still affected by this bug and postgis too
because it's its dependency. The reason is that libgeos has been bumped
and I've never given a build after that.

Only protobuf has been fixed after rebuilding all Bootlin toolchains.
So I will report upstream that is usually very responsive and ask to fix
this binutils again, hopefully once for all.

I've updated the bug on the gcc side that works together with binutils 
on the fix:
