However, in Precise, I have troubles running this ARM11 u-boot and kernel built with Linaro toolchain, eventually I found that my old gcc 4.3.2 toolchain can still build workable u-boot and kernel so that Linaro toolchain (gcc 4.6.2) seems the problem. I understand that Linaro's focus has been ARMv7 or above but I am wondering if its toolchain can still be used for older ARM architectures.
Our pre-built binary toolchains are configured using --with-arch=armv7-a so they will indeed not work for ARM11. But that's just a configuration issue; if you build a Linaro toolchain from source, you can still target older platforms as well.
