Because of a gcc bug [1], liburcu checks for compiler version [2] and
stops the build prematurely if gcc-4.8.[0-2] is detected for ARM.
However a bug fix exists [3] and may be backported by ARM toolchain
providers; that's what is done in Buildroot [4] or Linaro [5].
So, this change:
- add a patch in liburcu to allow build with ARM gcc-4.8.2;
- adds a new hidden symbol to reflect the toolchain status with regard
to this bug [1];
- and controls liburcu visibility.
However, a limitation of this is when the user is using a custom
toolchain; that's why the bug details have been added in the liburcu
help message.

+Subject: [PATCH] Only blacklist ARM gcc 4.8.0 and 4.8.1
+
+Since many ARM toolchain providers include the bug fix for PR58854 in
+their latest releases based on gcc-4.8.2, then only blacklist gcc 4.8.0
+and 4.8.1.
