We have latest Linaro toolchain and afaik you also updated binutils and friends which might give us more goodies/optimizations on top of what we got from TCWG gcc update. Remember to talk to Andy about benchmarking these builds and maybe give some hints what he should pay extra attention to. > arm-linux-androideabi toolchain and the mess in the Android build > system that works around the toolchain not knowing anything about the > OS simply don't go well together.

Another idea I had is that there seem to be two ways to build androideabi: one is the way we use; the other is to use the NDK method of building TC.

If that works I will move the release builds for panda and leb-panda as well. Unfortunately, beagle isn't really set up properly in the validation lab it seems; even deploy fails, look here: http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/dashboard/streams/anonymous/android-daily/bundles/ddb00a2e971f96750664ce9752a2b12969d75525/56db8596-ca05-11e0-9729-68b599be548c/ And all other tip builds we run seem to be not hooked up with the lab (or dont have support in the lab yet). I will move those to new toolchain once I see green light on panda/leb-panda hoping that that means they won't regress. -- - Alexander
