But I get following error: ERROR (#146): get_URL (not supported for .tar.* files.)
Yes, that is documented as working, but doesn't actually work. I believe that there is already a bug report for this at bugs.linaro.org.
What you can do instead is just create your own local git repository, and then point the gcc= option at your git tree. You should name your git tree gcc.git otherwise you will have trouble with abe. If you have your own local gcc.git tree, and you are using a shared local snapshot tree, and you are doing builds with both the linaro gcc.git and your local gcc.git, then you can run into problems, because you can't have two different gcc.git trees in the shared local snapshot tree. If you want two gcc.git trees, then you have to do it without sharing of the local snapshot tree. Or alternatively, it is possible to hack up abe so that a non gcc.git tree name can work.
