Well, I understand we -as Linaro- would like to see Ubuntu base their compiler on ours, but Ubuntu prefers to use a single source base for the compiler for all their supported platforms, including SPU.

I certainly understand that desire; I'm just asking how sustainable it is and where the commitments ought to lie. I'd just guess that this would be an ongoing problem, and that there will be a tension between "make the best possible ARM Linux system" and "don't break other architectures".

Thank you,
