I would strongly recommend to use GCC 8.2+ for ARC as there were
quite some improvements and fixes done for ARC.

You may use master branch of Crosstool-NG for building uClibc multilib toolchain
for ARC based on Binutils 2.31.1 and GCC 8.2.0.

Just say "./ct-ng arc-multilib-linux-uclibc" for that.
For me freshly-built tools were able to build Vineet's today's "for-curr" tree
with mentioned patch perfectly fine.
