Sure, glad to help, thx to you for writing the arch patches in first 
place. It takes a bit of daring to venture in unchartered waters ;-)

These days it is super easy to get your hands on a ARC cross toolchain. 
We don't have them shipping as regular distro packages just yet, but you 
can download a prebuilt @
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/download/arc-2020.09-release/arc_gnu_2020.09_prebuilt_glibc_le_archs_linux_install.tar.gz

Or you can just build upstream gcc + binutils for ARC if you so prefer.

Nice, thx for explaining that.
