Buildroot 2020.05.1 is a bugfix release, fixing a number of important /

- Toolchain:
  - Make external toolchain version check also work for toolchains
    configured with --with-gcc-major-version-only

    supports it, fixing an issue with precompiled headers
  - Ensure debug libs from external toolchains are not installed into
    target if debugging is disabled

- Download:
  - Correct reproducibility issue in handling of git submodules for
    older git versions.
  - Fix file locking over NFS

- Per-package:

    expanded
