Hi Bharath. Have a look under contrib/linaro/sysroot - there's a
script in there that you can fiddle with to pick a later distro.

extraneous trailing whitespace in get_URL and get_source output.

should use get_srcdir to reuse code.
* [PATCH][Cbuilv2/get_source 01/17] lib/make.sh: Don't continue with
build if source isn't found.
* [PATCH][Cbuildv2/get_source 00/17] Patchset to exhaustively test

== Issues ==
* None
== Plan ==
Objective before Linaro Connect:
* Wiki/README on using cbuildv2 sources.conf and <package>.conf:latest=
* git workflow document: collaborative use of git in Linaro
* wiki/README on using cbuildv2 local_snapshots for
specific/non-remote archives or git repositories.
General Cbuildv2:
* Audit usage of "local foo=`bar`; if test $?". Change to: "local
foo; foo=`bar`; if test $?".
- This is a known issue and very nefarious.
* Investigate dryrun to use stderr 2>&1?
* Port get_URL, get_source, and find_snapshot to unique behind
<repo>/<branch>@<revision> return type.
* Test local_snapshot overrides

Hi,
We are working on userspace aarch64 and aarch32 apps and we are trying
to run 32/64 mode app simultaneously.
Is there any multi-arch support for mixed rootfs (has linkers/libs of
both arm and arm64)?

Thanks,
-Zhou
Progress:
* back from sabbatical!
* caught up on admin, email, etc
* code review: Christoffer's GIC related patches; VSEL support in 32 bit v8;
support for VBAR; integrator bugfixes; others
* working on a pullreq for ARM stuff to go into QEMU 1.7
(we're now in softfreeze)
Plans:
* attend KVM Forum, Connect
* review the SuSE aarch64-linux-user patches

== Issues ==
* None
== Progress ==
* Prepare Linaro toolchain binaries 2013.10 release
- Update EGLIBC version to 2013.10 and enable-profile for AARCH64.
- Generate Linaro prebuilt sysroot for arm-linux-gnueabihf.
* Commit patch to Reassociate X == CST1 || X == CST2 if popcount (CST2
- CST1) == 1 into ((X - CST1) & ~(CST2 - CST1)) == 0
* Send ifcombine patch (to generate more conditional compare) for review.
* Root cause pr58775.
* Test conditional compare changes.
- Bootstrap and no make check regression on THUMB mode.
- ARM mode test is ongoing.
== Plan ==
* Send out the CCMP patch for review.
== Issues ==
* Short week
- school closed on Thursday
- holiday Friday
- several visits to the dentist
- feeling poorly, I think I have shellfish allergy
== Progress ==
* EEMBC
- Identified the problem on test not vectorizing
- Some ways to fix it: SLP, stride-access, unrolling
- Started implementation of GEP-PHI detection for reduction variables
* Odroid XU
- Bot died after a few hours, not really stable
- Trying again, at home, both odroids in parallel, they seem ok
* Background
- General reviews, etc.
The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the
release of both Linaro GCC 4.8 and Linaro GCC 4.7.
Linaro GCC 4.7 2013.10 is the nineteenth release in the 4.7
series. Based off the latest GCC 4.7.4+svn203509 release, this is the
sixth release after entering maintenance.
Interesting changes include:
* Updates to GCC 4.7.4+svn203509
* Fix for LP #1229170
Linaro GCC 4.8 2013.10 is the seventh release in the 4.8 series. Based
off the latest GCC 4.8.1+svn203510 release, it includes performance
improvements and bug fixes.
Interesting changes include:
* Updates to GCC 4.8.1+svn203510
* Improved AArch64 support (CRC extension, improved intrinsics, gprof
support)
* Improved Aarch32 support (bug fixes, better code generation,
improved multilib)
* Backports for bug fixes (PR58578
We are aware that FSF GCC 4.8.2 was released earlier this week.
However, this release happened too late in our cycle for us to use it
as the basis for Linaro GCC 4.8 2013.10. The only functional
difference contained in FSF GCC 4.8.2 that is not in Linaro GCC 4.8
2013.10 is a correction to a x86 test case.
