The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the availability of the Linaro Stable Binary Toolchain GCC 5.2-2015.11-2-rc1 Release-Candidate Archives.

These archives provide cross-toolchain executables (compiler, debugger, linker, etc.) and shared libraries (libstdc++, libc, etc.) that target ARM or Aarch64 GNU/Linux and bare-metal environments. The cross-toolchain binaries execute on a Linux or MS Windows (under mingw32) host operating-system.

Please evaluate this release-candidate for correctness. Linaro will shortly spin the Linaro GCC 5.2-2015.11-2 release if this release-candidate passes stakeholder validation.

For bugs related to this release-candidate please email linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org or file a bug at http://https://bugs.linaro.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Linux%20Binary%20toolchain
