Let's move detailed discussion back to the bug report. Quick and hopefully correct summary is that Nokia is distributing modified uclibc (EABI patched 0.9.28) so we should get at least exact uclibc sources used for building initfs. That is indeed enough to satisfy GPL and also to close the bug report since we can rebuild gcc with such uclibc and make the toolchain ourselves. uclibc is IMO really the tricky part, PCMIIAW but 0.9.28 does not support EABI out of box, there are several (maybe incomplete) patches to add EABI support to 0.9.28 mentioned in uclibc mailing list so it is quite hard to decide which specific version (if any) went into the binary which is distributed with the tablets. The original request is for toolchain binary since my idea was that it is easier for both sides (the binary exists inside Nokia - name was mentioned is OS2007 hacker edition guide, and hopefully there is no reason to keep the sources or binaries of gcc closed).
