Android NDK r9 also includes gcc 4.8, which might be an easier upgrade path than switching to clang to get better code optimizations (but not faster builds).

For reference, Firefox for Android uses NDK r8e's non-default gcc 4.7.

We should update our toolchain. The NDK rev 9d (March 2014) uses GCC 4.6 by 
default but you can also select Clang 3.4 instead. I bet Clang would speed up 
our builds. Coordinate with mwu. He is usually doing the work for this, but if 
you are impatient and want to do this right after the branch date I am sure he 
won’t mind.

Hey everyone,

What is involved in moving B2G to a newer version of GCC?
