When you say you weren't happy with the benchmark results - would you
remember if it didn't show
any significant improvements or were there significant regressions ?

There were some nice improvements but a couple of regressions.  I don't
remember the regressions being very big, but they were outside the noise,
so I wanted to explain them first.

Ok - thanks that's good enough to know.

[ACTIVITY] weekly status

2012-01-04 Thread Ken Werner

Hi,

* Android
  * migrated my linaro android build environment
  * did a small change to the debuggerd patch (thanks Sylvain)
* OpenEmbedded
  * the linaro binary toolchain uses multiarch paths while OE doesn't
-> setup a workaround to make it look like a classic one
  * however, I think what I really want is to build the libc instead
of using the one provided by the binary external toolchain
  * The core-image-minimal still doesn't boot properly because 'init'
doesn't come properly

Regards
Ken

Release notes for 2012.01

2012-01-04 Thread Michael Hope
I liked Andrew's idea of sharing the release notes so I stole it for this month:
 https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/GCC2012.01ReleaseNotes

Please add anything new and noteworthy that you've done to this draft.
