== GCC ==
* Committed fix for LP #968766 (PR tree-optimization/52880) to FSF mainline and Linaro GCC 4.6 and 4.7.
* Created merge reqest to fix LP #972648 for Linaro GCC 4.6 by backporting mainline patch; pending approval.
* Updated patch to use vld1.64/vst1.64 instead of vldm/vstm for vector moves. Testing detected problems in GCC core memory alignment logic (GCC assumes vector types are naturally aligned, which contradicts ARM ABI and ARM back-end assumptions). Started discussion on possible fixes.
* Updated and retested patch to use vld1/vst1 to implement vec_set/vec_extract for cases where the scalar operand resides in memory.
* Ongoing work on fixing LP #959242.
* Ongoing work on improving end-of-loop value computation.
