Linaro Android

Integrate Linaro GCC 4.6 into Android

Registered by Zach Pfeffer

We need to integrate the last 4.6 GCC drop from the toolchain group into Android

For your compile Android using Linaro's 4.6 toolchain, you have a couple of resources. Ken helped do this work last month and he put together a Wiki about it:

https://wiki.linaro.org/KenWerner/Sandbox/AndroidOnPanda

You can also use the precompiled tarballs at:

https://android-build.linaro.org/

See:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/toolchain-4.6-2011.06-0/

To compile Android with another toolchain use something like that listed on:

https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource

4.5 works, so you can use that as a reference.
