GNU 2016.03 based tools - but not built with BR, but with our internal scripts
(toolchain repo on github) - although it doesn't really matter,

I think github buildroot repo for ARC is kind of stale - Alexey would know more.

So I'm looking at upstream buildroot but something is weird is happening - friday
woes maybe.

What you want is
2016-05-19 09439560b9f9 toolchain: bump ARC tools to arc-2016.03 release

which seems to be present in released 2016.05, but when I checkout 2016.05 tag (or
aa6fd11feebff) that patch is not there !

Sorry we would have to defer this to next week or when Alexey takes a look.
