The 2.40 branch has been created

[Alan Modra]

Hi Nick,
Would you like me to apply the copyright year update to the branch?

Also, the libiberty update should have merged gcc's config/picflag.m4
with ours, in order for libiberty/configure to regen without
differences on the branch.  I'm going to apply the following mainline,
and will backport to the branch if that's OK?

diff --git a/config/picflag.m4 b/config/picflag.m4
