Hi,
Good news -- I just built a version of ICS with the current version of
linaro-gcc.

Panda build here:
http://people.linaro.org/~bernhardrosenkranzer/boot.tar.bz2
http://people.linaro.org/~bernhardrosenkranzer/system.tar.bz2
http://people.linaro.org/~bernhardrosenkranzer/userdata.tar.bz2

Use linaro-android-media-create as usual to install.

This is not yet a build that we can reproduce inside android-build
because I've had to cheat by swapping out linkers in a couple of
places (just using current binutils the way we normally do produces a
build that doesn't boot, using binutils built from the AOSP source
release works, but the prehistoric linker doesn't know about "dmb st",
can't link u-boot, can't link the kernel, and strangely enough can't
link some components of ICS - apparently the binaries they ship have
some extra patches in).

But the good news is that every part is built with our compiler -
there's nothing in the way of using that (aside from the code
insanities I've already fixed).

I'll work on sorting out binutils now...
