Research direction
Locate the core's gcc 4.8 toolchain configuration and compare it with the SAMD gcc 7 toolchain mentioned in the issue. Build the core and run the few test sketches referenced; done means the upgraded toolchain works without breaking those sketches.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
This core still uses the rather old gcc 4.8 toolchain, which lacks a lot of useful (C++) functions.
I just tried replacing it with SAMD's gcc 7 version, which seems to work just fine with a few test sketches I tried. Maybe this would be an easy improvement: Just replace the gcc version with the one from SAMD.
