Hi,
I've verified that toolchain 11.12 compiles our userland ok, the only
problem is w/ the kernel.
A build using the 11.12 toolchain for userland and an older toolchain
for the kernel is ok.
Currently trying some other workarounds, such as adding
-mno-unaligned-access to the kernel compiler flags, checking if it's
already fixed on head, trying the generic arm-eabi toolchain for the
kernel, etc.

Thanks Tony. Including others who are curious about DS-5.

Hi,
I've done a quick 4.0.3 rebase and started a Panda test build:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~berolinux/landing-panda-4.0.3/
Source-wise we should be ok, so you may want to play around with it on
all boards over the weekend.
This is extremely late for 11.12 (somehow Google's release cycle
doesn't like ours...), but let's see...
If this build actually works well, I'll make builds for all other boards.

I'll try isolating the breakage with a slightly different strategy:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~berolinux/panda-bisect-component/
The idea is to isolate the component that breaks things by switching
revisions from the pinned-manifest.xml files. Once we know the
component, finding the commit should be a lot easier.
The first build is identical to the first bad build, with
device/linaro/common
device/linaro/pandaboard
platform/dalvik
platform/frameworks/base
platform/system/core
reverted to the revisions found in the last good build.
I'm pretty sure that will produce another "good" build (the other
changes really shouldn't affect bootup...)
Then we can go back to the versions of device/* from the bad build,
and we're already down to 2 or 3 components as the possible culprits.
If we ever have plenty of time, a "repo bisect" function (like git
bisect) would be great to have...

Hi,
The next RC of the Android toolchain 11.12 (this is more than likely
identical to the final) is ready.
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/toolchain-4.6-2011.…
It updates to the 11.12 release from the toolchain WG and makes sure
gold is built with gcc 4.5 so we don't get dependencies on a current
libstdc++.
I'm updating all official builds.
