Add the ATfL package

[pawosm-arm]

Also adjust the armpl-gcc package to accommodate our new toolchain.

These gitlab-ci failures look like infrastructural issue. Any chances for a review?

[pawosm-arm]

All checks have passed after the rebase. Can I get my review now?...

[pawosm-arm]

@alalazo can I kindly ask you to look into it? I can't edit the reviewers list myself, unfortunately.

What is the difference between atfl and acfl?

What is the difference between atfl and acfl?

ACfL (Arm Compiler for Linux) is our old toolchain, now phased out, while ATfL (Arm Toolchain for Linux) is the new one, a member of a bigger family of the new ATf* toolchains.

Started reviewing, still have to finish going through the recipe. I'll post the current comments in the meanwhile.

Should we deprecate ACfL then? Or maintain both? Also pinging @paolotricerri as a maintainer for the acfl package

As long as it is still downloadable ( https://developer.arm.com/Tools%20and%20Software/Arm%20Compiler%20for%20Linux#Downloads ) IMO it's good to keep it. I assume it will be available there at least for the coming months.

I agree with @pawosm-arm as in until acfl can be downloaded and the link works, I would not deprecate the package yet. However, at the next release of ArmPL (the other package I maintain) I will also review our support for acfl.
