[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] kernel-build.eclass: add HPPA support

[Sam James]

Support HPPA kernel builds.

Notes:
- HPPA 2.0 supports 32-bit and 64-bit kernels (HPPA 2.0 userland remains
  32-bit for now as toolchain support isn't there yet for 64-bit).

  I've decided to only accommodate 64-bit kernels here unless/until someone
  requests & can help figure out an acceptable solution for 32-bit kernels
  for HPPA 2.0.

- HPPA 1.x should be fine as there's no need for a cross-compiler there,
  unlike HPPA 2.x for 64-bit (sys-devel/kgcc64). It should Just Work,
  but not tested.

Not adding a BDEPEND on sys-devel/kgcc64 as it's unclear how to do this
cleanly only for HPPA 2.0.

Tested on RP3440 and C8000.
