I've been going through the ChangeLog for the release and am having
trouble justifying some of the changes brought in.  In particular:
 * -fstrict-volatile-bitfields, which is more appropriate for bare
metal/kernel code
 * Cortex-M4 support
 * C locale support in libstdc++-v3

The march/mcpu clean up is OK but marginal.

Our focus is time based performance on the Cortex-A series with an
implied applications over kernel/bare metal.  This is a very narrow
view, but every non-performance line of code we bring in can also
bring in a bug.

Any thoughts?  For those who are looking at using our toolchain, is
earlier access to other toolchain improvements interesting?
