Make gcc-aarch64 reproducible

Administrator requested to merge fix/binary-repo-various into master

Created by: ollieparanoid

This will fix https://github.com/postmarketOS/binary-package-repo/issues/1.

GCC generates hardlinks between files A and B in its make install step. The problem is, that tar randomly packages A as full binary, and links B to A, or the other way around! I was able to reproduce this issue consistently when re-building gcc-aarch64 on Travis CI (interestingly, this did not appear for gcc-armhf).

The fix is, to delete B and create a symlink B that points to A instead.

How to test this PR

pmbootstrap zap -p
pmbootstrap build hello-world --arch=armhf
