Fixes all over the tree and new features.
Toolchain: Default to binutils 2.35.2, add 2.36.1, drop
2.33.x. Fix GCC 10.x ARC adc/sbc pattern handling, Update ARM
toolchains to 10.2-2020.11 release.
Architectures: ARC: add support for generic HS48 processor,
PPC: drop PPC601 support, which was removed from Linux 5.10.
Vulnerability scanning: The CVE checking logic has been
extended to match packages based on CPE (Common Platform
Enumeration) IDs for more accurate matching, and CPE
identifiers have been added for a large amount of packages.
Download: Rework the tarball creation logic (E.G. when a
package is fetched from a git/svn repo) to no longer require a
host-tar <= 1.29. To differ between the old and the new
format, the new tarballs have gained a -br1 suffix
(<pkg>-<version>-br1.tar.gz).
SELinux support: A significant number of packages now pull in
the relevant refpolicy modules when enabled.
New defconfigs: arrow avenger96, bananapi M1+, microchip
sam9x60ek, pine64 rock64
Removed defconfigs: QEMU ppc virtex-ml507

2020.11.2, released January 31st, 2021
Important / security related fixes.
Download: Ensure git submodules are correctly fetched if
enabled for a package with <pkg>_GIT_SUBMODULES = YES and the
host variant is downloaded first.
Toolchain: Mark CodeSourcery Aarch64 2014.11 toolchain as not
having libatomic. Bootlin PowerPC-440 FP toolchain updated for
SecurePLT fix.
pkg-stats: Fix python 3.8+ deprecation warning.
meson: Ensure ccache is not detected and used, as it may
conflict with the ccache handling in Buildroot.

Architectures: Support for IBM s390x
Toolchain: use Secure-PLT rather than BSS-PLT for PowerPC
32. Binutils 2.35.1 added, now defaulting to 2.34. ARC
2020.09-release toolchain. GCC 7.x dropped. RISC-V support for
uclibc-ng. Support for Bootlin external toolchains.
SELinux support improvements: File security contexts are now
set when the file systems are created, so there is no need to
run restorecon on first boot / read only rootfs is supported.
An optimized / stripped refpolicy SELinux policy is now
used. Packages can enable additional refpolicy modules using
<pkg>_SELINUX_MODULES.
support/scripts/cve-checker: Utility script to check for known
CVEs in just the packages enabled in a Buildroot configuration
rather than all packages, by passing the output of 'make
