Update the Fedora 44 GNU Toolchain to gcc 16.0, binutils 2.46, glibc 2.43 and gdb 16.3. The set of core GNU Toolchain packages for Fedora 44 are as follows:

• GNU C Compiler 16.0
  • Associated runtimes for C++ (libstdc++), Go (gccgo), OpenMP (gomp), Fortran (gfortran), D (phobos), Objective C/C++.
• GNU Binary Utilities 2.46
• GNU C Library 2.43
• GNU Debugger 16.3 (immediately available in Fedora 43)

The gcc 16.0 change will be tracked in this top-level GNU Toolchain system-wide change request. The binutils 2.46 change will be tracked in this top-level GNU Toolchain system-wide change request. The glibc 2.43 change will be tracked in this top-level GNU Toolchain system-wide change request. The gdb 16.3 update was rolled out across all Fedora releases and the move to newer versions will be handled in the same fashion. The debugger is capable of debugging the binary artifacts produced by the rest of the system toolchain.
