Update bundled tools

[facchinm]

Solves arduino/arduinoOTA#2 and arduino/avrdude-build-script#4
Should also solve #5845, #5430 and #2989 . A test appx for Windows10 will be generated after the build for extended testing

For me, compilation is now sucessful! But I've got this error when uploading the code

I'm going to test the last nighty build.

[jmandion]

The last nightly build worked perfectly! Thank you!

[cmaglie]

@jmandion what do you mean with "nightly build"?

please note that this patch, at this time is still not merged so it's not available in the Hourly build, but only in the build posted above.

To be clear if you want to test it you must use the file named arduino-PR-5863-BUILD-638.

[jmandion]

@cmaglie Interesting... Please, excuse my brevity in my previous comments. This evening, I've been testing an Arduino Uno with a laptop running Windows XP SP3.

First, I downloaded Arduino IDE 1.8.1 and my arduino was successfully detected. I tried to run the Blink example, but I got issue #2989
Next, I changed my build.path to C:\TEMP and moved my arduino installation to C:\Arduino to get paths without blank characters, but issue #2989 persisted.

Then, I reached this patch and downloaded arduino-PR-5863-BUILD-638. It solved issue #2989 and I could successfully link all the objects. However, when I tried to upload the executable to the arduino, I got the error I posted before: the "REMOVE" string in some paths.

Finally, I downloaded the hourly build (whose filename is arduino-nightly-windows.zip, this is the reason of my bad understanding about the timing of the testing builds). I've successfully compiled and uploaded the Blink example to my arduino.

The avrdude not found error (aka REMOVE) is "expected" since the avr core in this PR is not yet released and the tools definition gets overridden by the "official" json file. The important thing here is solving the compilation problem, however I'll add a temporary hack to make avrdude working again.
The fact that nightly compiles the Blink sketch without any problem is quite puzzling... Could you paste here the verbose output of the three compilations (1.8.1, nightly and PR-5863) ? Thanks a lot

✅ Build completed.

Please test this code using one of the following:

ATTENTION: this Windows appx is NOT the official release and is intended only for testing. You must uninstall the official build and enable "Sideload app" form Security to be able to test it

Sorry for the delay. These are the outputs of the three compilations. Some messages are in Spanish, but I think they are understandable.

Build 645 worked for me so far.

[per1234]

Arduino forum user stuart0 has been using test build 638 of this PR since 2017-01-18 on Windows XP without encountering #2989 once. Prior to using the test build they did experience #2989 multiple times. I will update if stuart0 reports any results to the contrary. I'm relaying the report because they don't have a GitHub account.

Let's put the updated tools in the hourly, so a wider audience can test them.

[bmd1103]

Spoke too soon - I'm now getting
Linking everything together...
"C:\Program Files\Arduino_1.8\hardware\tools\avr/bin/avr-gcc" -Os -g -flto -fuse-linker-plugin -Wl,--gc-sections,--relax -mmcu=atmega2560 -o "C:\Temp1/Motors1.ino.elf" "C:\Temp1\sketch\Motor.cpp.o" "C:\Temp1\sketch\Motors1.ino.cpp.o" "C:\Temp1/core\core.a" "-LC:\Temp1" -lm

c:/program files/arduino_1.8/hardware/tools/avr/bin/../lib/gcc/avr/4.9.2/../../../../avr/bin/ld.exe: use the --help option for usage information

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

So the collect2.exe error is coming up because of the unrecognised -plugin option.

[facchinm]

@bmd1103 are you testing the nightly or the PR build? Both should have no problem with linker plugins, so I bet there is something wrong going on here.
update: I tested the nightly on XP with a Mega as target and it works as expected
