The Linaro Binary Toolchain
============================
The Linaro GCC 4.9-2016.02-rc1 Release-Candidate is now available.
Notice: All Linaro GCC 4.9 series toolchain users should migrate to
the latest version of the Linaro GCC 4.9 toolchain in order to
mitigate potential security exposure to CVE-2015-7545. See the NEWS
section below for details.

Host Requirements
==================
Linaro officially supports the current and previous Ubuntu LTS
releases (as of the time of this release). This does not mean that
the toolchain will not work on other/older Linux distributions. See
the following for the life-time of Ubuntu LTS releases.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
The host system upon which the cross-compiler will run requires a
minimum of glibc 2.14, because of API changes to glibc's memcpy API.
