Reducing the size of the loongarch64 toolchain download

Reducing the size of the loongarch64 toolchain download

[Rebecca Cran]

I noticed the BaseTools/Bin/gcc_loongarch64_unknown_linux_extdep 
directory is 3.2GB. However, 2.6GB of that is from target/usr/lib64 
(which includes X and Qt libraries).

Since it appears the gcc binaries are statically linked, I was wondering 
if the lib and lib64 directories could be excluded from future uploads?

Rebecca:
 BaseTools/Bin/gcc_loongarch64_unknown_linux_extdep directory should be created after Stuart build. Please confirm it. 

Thanks

The directory exists, that's not the problem.
The issue is that it's far larger than it needs to be: we could save bandwidth and time.
