…for autoreconf - Drop the external Linaro GCC 7.5 fetch (unstable URL and wrong i686 host tuple). We already install Ubuntu’s cross toolchain (gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu, etc.), which is sufficient and more reproducible for our builds. - Add Autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool, autoconf-archive, pkg-config) so projects using autoreconf/aclocal/bootstrap can build inside CI. - This reduces build flakiness, removes a network dependency, and aligns the toolchain across PR and nightly builds.
