xtensa-unknown-elf-binutils and xtensa-unknown-elf-gcc were created
for build ath9k-htc-firmware that needs xtensa architecture support,
not for build linux-libre-firmware

av7110/bootcode.bin, dsp56k/bootstrap.bin and
keyspan_pda/{keyspan_pda,xircom_pgs}.fw are the libre firmwares
provided from Linux kernel and ath9k-htc-firmware that needs be built
separately because is a different architecture. The remaining
firmwares available from Arch's linux-firmware are blobs [0]

Arch's linux-firmware is not built from source and contains blobs [1]
