Re: the linaro toolchain and older arm versions

OOI, what are the U-Boot targets you're looking to build for that don't support ARMv7? A gcc multilib package for armel will be easy to implement but hard to maintain, and certainly none of the systems Linaro is targeting should require a pre-Thumb-2 U-Boot, so I'm very doubtful that the ongoing effort to maintain such a toolchain in Ubuntu is justified (unless we find that it becomes substantially easier with multiarch, I guess, but we're a ways away from that yet).

Isn't Thumb 2 the actual issue here? U-Boot is built with -marm; does it cause any issue to mix with our Thumb-2 libgcc?
