* TCWG-619
* V8
- aarch64 v8 LTO build with different options
- found workaround for v8 LTO build on ARM
* Chromium
- statically linking libstdc++ works for building chromium with
linaro-4.9-branch
- patched cp/typeck2.c to shut up on narrowing conversion errors to build
chromium with master branch.
- weird issue, chromium build hangs consistently at:
AR obj/components/libomnibox.a
due to patch to WebGLRenderingContextBase.idl, reverting that worked fine.

* [TCWG-762] - GCC Maintenance (9/10)
- PR65648 (ARMv6 IRA clobbering issue): Worked on a testcase that exhibit
the issue and don't conflict with various multilib configs.

Proper fix was committed by Vlad.
- PR65729 (LRA ICE on arm-linux-gnueabhif): Proposed a fix, which is a stage1
