Summary:
* Validate RM toolchain
* Prepare Linaro Toolchain Binaries 2012.12 release.
* Collect performance data for different branch cost.
Details:
1. Validate RM toolchain release.
2. Collect denbench and spec2000int performance data for branch cost tuning.
3. Fix README issue (lp:1068402) by dynamically create README.txt:
* The hard coded README.txt is removed.
* Update build scripts to generate the README.txt, which depends on
- README.texi, which is the common template for all TARGETS.
- config.texi, which sets the default configuration for the
TARGET. Each TARGET has a config.texi.
- version.texi, created during build, includes GCC_VERSION,
GDB_VERSION and TOOLCHAIN_VERSION.
4. Update Linaro GCC and GDB to 2012.12 in Linaro crosstool-ng,
workaround gdb mingw32 link fail issue (due to mbsrtowcs is redefined
in gdb/gnulib), finish the smoke test and spawn release builds.
Plans:
* Investigate how branch cost impacts on code generation.
* Release Linaro Toolchain Binaries 2012.12.
Best regards!

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release
of Linaro GDB 7.5.
Linaro GDB 7.5 2012.12 is the second release in the 7.5 series.
***NOTE*** Linaro GDB 7.5 2012.12 is identical to the FSF GDB 7.5.1 release,
except for the change in version number and Linaro branding, since all
Linaro GDB features were already accepted upstream and are included in
the FSF release as-is. Future releases in the Linaro GDB 7.5 series may
include additional ARM-focused bug fixes and enhancements.
The source tarball is available at:

upstream (trunk) QEMU, it includes a number of ARM-focused bug fixes
and enhancements.
There are no major changes in this month's release, but it has
been updated to be based on upstream's recent 1.3.0 release.

This patch adds --std=gnu99 to CFLAGS for the tests. This is
necessary because some of the test code use the following c99 idiom:
