Could you give some details on the "bugs" ?

The menu is not needed.

Use:

if BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ARM_GNU_TOOLCHAIN

...

endif

to enclose the options of this package.

Just "version"

Seeing what you end up needing in your defconfig, I think I would
prefer explicit options for 11.x and 10.x, rather than all this
"custom" mess.

So just:

config BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ARM_GNU_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION_11_X
	...
config BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ARM_GNU_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION_10_X
	...

Thanks!
