 Since I merged the bump to glibc 2.26, patch 1 is not correct anymore.

 Would it be useful to instead add patches to our glibc to add ARC support? Or
are the ARC patches too difficult to backport?

 You can actually do that yourself by adding a config to
support/config-fragments/autobuild and updating toolchain-configs.csv
in that directory. Something like br-arc-full-internal.config but then with glibc.
