is the Linaro toolchain (esp. gcc) useful on x86/x86_64, or is an attempt to use the Linaro toolchain with such a target just asking for trouble?
Isn't this exactly what Ubuntu do for all their releases (from when we started producing a gcc-linaro)?
I believe Linaro GCC is used as the basis for the Ubuntu system compiler on x86, amd64, armel, and ppc.
However, they do apply some additional patches, so we can't make any promises that the results will be the same. That said, most of their patches are customization and hardening, and they do report any bugs they find to us, so the extra patches shouldn't be that important.
