I  applied this patch first. It did not fix my toolchain.

The recipe above still is looking for this file
'${D}${libdir}/libgcc*' before my patch - when that folder does not
even exist and it's actually
'${D}${libdir}/${TARGET_SYS}/${BINV}/libgcc*'. It's worth noting that
FILES_${PN} is referencing the path where a file actually exists,
which makes me wonder why they are different, esp. since these two
lines were added in the same patch.
