[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 2/2] toolchain/toolchain-wrapper: handle __FILE__ macro for reproducibility

[Atharva Lele]

Many tools use __FILE__ for debugging and __FILE__ captures the build path.
This results in non-reproducible images when building in different directories.

If the config uses GCC 8 or above, we use -ffile-prefix-map=old=new and let gcc
take care of the path remapping in __FILE__. Since GCC versions before v8 did
not have this feature, we use a dummy string in that case.
