Linaro GCC 4.5 2011.01-1 released

[Andrew Stubbs]

The previous Linaro GCC 4.5 release, 4.5-2011.01-0, suffered from a 
build failure on x86_64, and PowerPC. ARM and x86 (32) were not 
apparently affected, but users might like to upgrade to be on the safe side.

A bug fix toolchain, 4.5-2011.01-1 has now been released:
   https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/4.5/4.5-2011.01-1

The -fshrink-wrap optimization and multiple load improvements have been 
temporarily withdrawn.

This update refers to the GCC 4.5-based tools - the 4.4-based tools are 
unaffected.

We apologise for the inconvenience.
