Two patches are posted. Two patches are being tested. They fix
207 FAILs (242 -> 35) in gdb.reverse.

sense which patch is better. No response.
* Misc, [2/10]
** Upstream discussions on get syscall number on execve exit. Can't
get such thing from kernel side, need to figure out how to do it
in GDB side.
** Investigate a little bit on 32-bit DWARF on AArch64.

In UnwindFromContext, there is an asm that forces the assembler into ARM mode.
if (ucontext == nullptr) {
int ret = (({ unw_tdep_context_t *unw_ctx = (&context_); register unsigned \
long *unw_base asm ("r0") = unw_ctx->regs; __asm__ __volatile__ ( ".align 2\nbx\
pc\nnop\n.code 32\n" "stmia %[base], {r0-r15}\n" "orr %[base], pc, #1\nbx %[ba\
se]" : [base] "+r" (unw_base) : : "memory", "cc"); }), 0);
The ".code 32" puts us in ARM mode.
GCC still thinks that we are in thumb mode though, and continues to
emit thumb instructions, some of which have no arm mode equivalent,
e.g. cbnz and cbz.
I don't see any convenient push/pop for thumb/arm mode. This is
probably a macro expanded into the asm. You could have two versions
of the asm, one that gets used when __thumb__ is defined and one that
gets used when __thumb__ is not defined. The __thumb__ version would
switch back into thumb mode at the end with a ".thumb" pseudo-op.
Or alternatively, don't build with -mthumb.

Hi folks,
I am trying to use arm gcc 5.3 to build part of android AOSP and hit

The Linaro Binary Toolchain
============================
The Linaro GCC 4.9-2016.02 Release is now available.
Notice: All Linaro GCC 4.9 series toolchain users should migrate to
the latest version of the Linaro GCC 4.9 toolchain in order to
mitigate potential security exposure to CVE-2015-7545. See the NEWS
section below for details.
Download release packages from:
http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.9-2016.02/http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2016.02/
Previous snapshots and release-candidates are at:

Previous releases are at:
http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/
Host Requirements
==================
Linaro officially supports the current and previous Ubuntu LTS
releases (as of the time of this release). This does not mean that
the toolchain will not work on other/older Linux distributions. See
the following for the life-time of Ubuntu LTS releases.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
The host system upon which the cross-compiler will run requires a
minimum of glibc 2.14, because of API changes to glibc's memcpy API.
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1869

NEWS for Linaro GCC 4.9-2016.02
================================
* The armv8l-linux-gnueabihf targetted toolchain is now built using
--with-mode=thumb (like all of the other cross toolchains) rather than
the default which is ARM mode.
* Applied fix for CVE-2015-7545 - A stack-based buffer overflow in
glibc's getaddrinfo() was corrected in glibc 2.23 and backported into
Linaro eglibc 2.19 (linaro_eglibc-2_19).
