- Toolchain:
- glibc: Optional support for compatibility shims for running on older kernels than what glibc has been built against
- uClibc: Use uClibc-ng 1.0.40
- External toolchains: Update Bootlin toolchains to 2021.11-1 version

- Python 2.7 and python 2.x specific packages removed as python 2.x is EOL since April 2020. Likewise a number of python3 specific host packages has been renamed (host-python-foo instead of host-python3-foo) now host-python is always python 3.x.

- Cargo (Rust) package infrastructure added. Vendoring support added to golang package infrastructure.
