Hi, the 11.08 Android toolchain RC is ready:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/toolchain-4.6-2011.0... https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/job/linaro-android_toolchain-4.6-20...
The good news is that this build has been tested and seems to work fine for everything so far.
Have you guys worked all night - when I went to bed, android-build was busy with the builds, and I woke up and it's busy either ;-). Great work!
Did you have a chance to look at 4.5 build: https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/job/pfalcon_toolchain-4.5-2011.08-l... ? Or would you have one? Just in case, I'd like to discuss contingency plan for 4.5 release either. 4.5 builds against last-month's toolchain bundling: https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/job/pfalcon_toolchain-4.5-2011.08-l... Releasing 4.6 & 4.5 against different tags/branches of toolchain/* is not ideal, but we could do that if needed (assuming it would be fixed next milestone).
Thanks, Paul
The bad news is that we did that by reverting the switch from the arm-eabi to the arm-linux-androideabi target, losing support for OpenMP and friends. My theory is that the combination of an arm-linux-androideabi toolchain and the mess in the Android build system that works around the toolchain not knowing anything about the OS simply don't go well together. We should investigate this further for the next release.
Other than that, this toolchain build seems to be ready for release. Let me know if you run into any problems.
