Would be interesting to see how many are fixed or changed with #12457

I've been working on updating our toolchain build script, mainly to create a properly compiled gcc elf newlib toolchain for #12457. I't almost done, mainly needing a github repo with travis configured to build this automatically...

I suggest concentrating on that!

With #14693 in this one can be closed, only failing tests are:

- [tests/driver_grove_ledbar](tests/driver_grove_ledbar/test.failed)
- [tests/driver_hd44780](tests/driver_hd44780/test.failed)
- [tests/driver_my9221](tests/driver_my9221/test.failed)
- [tests/periph_timer_short_relative_set](tests/periph_timer_short_relative_set/test.failed)

which are all expected failures, thanks for the great work @kaspar030!
