Hello Pedro,
As Michael has pointed out we're very much interested in maintaining
v5 compatibility of the toolchain; however, we're not yet well setup to
maintain an actual archive to achieve that.
The Infrastructure team under Scott B. is currently working on a
facility which would allow maintaining a fully rebuilt archive; it is
however not expected for the 10.11 cycle.
If someone in the community is interested in stepping up and maintaining
a bootstrapped archive based on v5 we would definitely be willing to put
resources (hardware and engineering) towards making that happen.
Note that Debian does maintain a v5 build at the moment; if they
transition to using the Linaro toolchain for their armel build then it
may be the best possible scenario for v5 validation. I'm copying
Matthias who may have more information on the current status of that
project.
