This enables support for ARC cores in numpy.
Patch for Numpy is awaiting review in upstream here:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/9692.

Note this patch has a prerequisite http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/814209/
which upgrades python-numpy to the latest release 1.13.1.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add support of ARC
+
+Synopsys DesignWare ARC Processors are a family of 32-bit CPUs
+which in some configurations may run Linux kernel and full stack
+of applications on top of it. Among other things is Python.
+
+With that change we allow building and usage of Numpy on ARC.
