== Issues ==
* None
== Progress ==
* Commit the fix for lp:1243022 on trunk.
* Backporting r203603, r204247 and r203267 to Linaro gcc 4.8.
* Updating CCMP patch according to comments.
* Collect spec2K result for CCMP.
- Overall there is no regression and no improvement.
- 175.vpr is sensitive to branch cost. Smaller branch cost will lead
to regression for it even with CCMP.
* Investigate bare metal arm-none-eabi A profile multilib build.
- Need fix the conflict with current multilib support for arm-linux-gnueabihf
- Need scripts and config update to meet the check of
--with-multilib-list=aprofile
- A reference build is shared at
http://cbuild.validation.linaro.org/snapshots/aprofile-baremetal.tar.bz2
== Plan ==
* Continue on CCMP.
* Update Linaro crosstool-ng for bare metal A profile multilib build.
