2013-01-31 Thread Bernhard Rosenkränzer 
The Linaro Toolchain Working Group and Platform Team are pleased to
announce the 2013.01
release of the Linaro Toolchain Binaries, a pre-built version of
Linaro GCC and Linaro GDB that runs on generic Linux or Windows and
targets the glibc Linaro Evaluation Build.

Uses include:
 * Cross compiling ARM applications from your laptop
 * Remote debugging
 * Build the Linux kernel for your board

What's included:
 * Linaro GCC 4.7 2013.01
 * Linaro GDB 7.5 2012.12
 * A statically linked gdbserver
 * A system root
 * Manuals under share/doc/

The system root contains the basic header files and libraries to link
your programs against.

The Linux version is supported on Ubuntu 10.04.3 and 12.04, Debian
6.0.2, Fedora 16, openSUSE 12.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation
5.7 and later, and should run on any Linux Standard Base 3.0
compatible distribution.  Please see the README about running on
x86_64 hosts.

The Windows version is supported on Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Vista
Business SP2, and Windows 7 Pro SP1.

The binaries and build scripts are available from:

== Progress ==

* Maintenance
 - Fixing ARM buildbots, poking people to fix bugs, keeping them green
 - http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=173510

* Cost Model
 - Fixing some bugs on the generic code
 - http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=173691
 - Adding some simple free cast (plus some infrastructure)
 - http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=173849

* LLVM
 - Investigating APFloat issue on Chromebook (bad libraries?)
 - Clang miscompiles and show same synthoms, will play with options next
week
 - AArch64 back-end in, to be built by default

* LAVA
 - Got three last errors due to include path ('bits/predefs.h' file not
found)
 - libc6-dev + libstdc++-dev have no effect, problem doesn't show on
buildbots
 - Testing heating problem with multiple images (only 12.02 is good)
 - Testing other boards, other images (with Dave)

* Friday Holiday

== Plan ==

* Try a bit more on the APFloat issue in Chromebook, but I think that's
just bad distro (ChrUbuntu), since no one else has this problem. Has anyone
put any Linaro image on a Chromebook?

* Continue working on getting faster builds on LAVA (quad-core origen,
Arndale, etc) with Dave Pigot.

* Continue micro-benchmarking the vectorization and updating the
cost-model. Start discussing the side-effects that are not modelled at all.
