[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/localedef: relax required toolchain version

The glibc package has been updating the toolchain version
dependency since 2.28.x. The dependencies don't currently
apply to the localedef build of the package, so this
patchset relaxes the restriction such that builds can still
occur on older host machines.

The current supported minimum versions after this patch
is applied are:
GCC 4.8
Binutils 2.24

Tested against:
Ubuntu 14.04.3 (GCC 4.8 and Binutils 2.24)
Ubuntu 16.04 (GCC 5.4.0 and Binutils 2.26.1)

+Subject: [PATCH] relax dependency on GCC to 4.8 and binutils to 2.24
+
+The glibc package has been updating the toolchain version
+dependency since 2.28.x. The dependencies don't currently
+apply to the localedef build of the package, so this
+patchset relaxes the restriction such that builds can still
+occur on older host machines.
+
+Here's a related post from 2018 for a similar patchset.
