[ACTIVITY] 2nd - 6th January

* Linaro

Continued work on getting GCC to build on LAVA. I've ironed out a few 
more bugs from my test scripts, but it's slow going because a test runs 
takes a long time to run, and there are very few useful error messages 
when something goes wrong.

Wrote, posted, and committed a patch to fix the "120" testsuite bug I 
encountered last month. Basically the GCC testsuite's "headmerge-1" 
testcase would have failed from now until September because a sloppy 
regex happening to match "120" in the toolchain version string's 
snapshot date. I've also backported it to upstream 4.6 and posted a 
merge request for Linaro 4.6.

Continued running benchmarks for the generic tuning project.

Continued looking at optimizing 64-bit shifts. No real progress this 
week though.
