[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v1] doc: update cross build tool links and fix compiling issue

[Joyce Kong]

Update cross build tool links as newer cross build tools
version are provided on Linaro.
And remove the command 'git checkout' which results in
compiling error when cross building.

Fixes: 01add9da25cd ("doc: add cross compiling guide")

Could you use the URL with "latest" as softlink so that we don't need
to update this page as when a new
toolchain released?

Since it owned by ARM, if the soft link scheme does not exist on the
"https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads", I hope it can be
added. It will be a good addition. Thoughts?

As the latest soft link doesn't exist, I changed the cross building example from
8.3 to a common description like gcc-arm-<version>-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2] doc: update cross build tool version desc and fix compiling issue
