This change fails CI.  

meta-arm-toolchain/recipes-devtools/external-arm-toolchain/external-arm-toolchain.bb
is trying to copy 3 files which do not exist.

cp: cannot stat '/builder/meta-arm/build/toolchains/arm/lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/13.3.1/include/ssp': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '/builder/meta-arm/build/toolchains/arm/lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/13.3.1/include/sanitizers': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '/builder/meta-arm/build/toolchains/arm/lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/13.3.1/include/quadmath*': No such file or directory

See https://gitlab.com/jonmason00/meta-arm/-/jobs/8143315096

It's fairly trivial to duplicate locally.  Just run:
./ci/get-binary-toolchains
kas build ci/qemuarm-secureboot.yml:ci/external-gccarm.yml:ci/poky-altcfg.yml:ci/testimage.yml

Thanks,
Jon
