Hi all.
I've incorrectly reported a build failure in the support system. https://support.linaro.org/hc/en-us/requests/1876 -But I'm posting a copy to this list, in order to follow Victor's advice.
I've suggested a couple of changes, which makes ABE a little more compatible. Though I can still not build the toolchain on my PowerBook G4, I think that my two modifications might ease building on Intel based Macs and perhaps other architectures in addition.
In short: * Use getconf instead of /proc/cpuinfo (you're already using getconf in configure.ac). * By default use twice as many cores for -jN as usual. (If you have 2 cores, use -j4) * Change the architecture from 'Power Macintosh' (which contains an offending space) to 'powerpc'.
...And here's "configure.ac.patch":

Apart from that, I'd like to report a successful build on Cubieboard2 running Armbian. I built for the aarch64 architecture, and I'm currently attempting to build Armbian for beelink GT1 using the new shiny Linaro toolchain. :) ...and what a pleasure, there's no fan-noise when building on the Cubieboard2!
Love Jens
