Bug#868895: Please add xtensa toolchain to debian

[Laurent GUERBY <laurent@guerby.net>]

Package: gcc-6
Version: 6.3.0-18
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The xtensa architecture is gaining popularity through cheap and popular
ESP8266 and ESP32 wifi enabled MCU with Arduino & maker community
(xtensa-lx106-elf).

It is also useful for ath9k-htc development and was requested here
without answer AFAIK:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2016/08/msg00175.html

A few links:

https://github.com/esp8266/esp8266-wiki/issues/26

It would be nice to have binutils and gcc-xtensa just
like we have binutils-avr, gcc-avr, *-msp430 and a few other popular
MCU cross development tools in debian.

Sincerely,

Laurent
