Building the ps3 toolchain on Apple M1 (arm64)

I just got a new laptop (with Apple's M1 chip) and I had to rebuild the toolchain from scratch.

Good news: the PS3 toolchain and PSL1GHT SDK can be rebuilt on arm64 arch. But... patches and fixes must be done here & there to compile. 😅

For the toolchain:

I had to fix gcc-7.2.0 with this patch 0023-apple-silicon.diff: https://github.com/richfelker/musl-cross-make/pull/129/files

I also had to fix gdb-7.5.1 too, adding #include <sys/ioctl.h> in two files, as shown in #103
