The Linaro Binary Toolchain
============================
The Linaro GCC 5.5-2017.10 Final Release is now available.
Notice: All Linaro GCC 5 series toolchain users should migrate to the
latest version of the Linaro GCC 5 toolchain in order to mitigate
potential security exposure to CVE-2015-7547. See the NEWS section
below for details.

Host Requirements
==================
Linaro officially supports the current and previous Ubuntu LTS
releases (as of the time of this release). This does not mean that
the toolchain will not work on other/older Linux distributions. See
the following for the life-time of Ubuntu LTS releases.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
The host system upon which the cross-compiler will run requires a
minimum of glibc 2.14, because of API changes to glibc's memcpy API.

NEWS for GCC 5 (as of Linaro GCC 5.5-2017.10)
==============================================
* Include Binutils fix for bugzilla #20364:
Data-based padding causes current address evaluation to be
non-constant on aarch64
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20364
* Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2575:
ICE: declaration and definition of function with
__attribute__((target("thumb"))) and inlined assembler, with debug
symbols enabled
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2575
* Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2575:
Internal compiler error using -mtune=cortex-a57.cortex-a53.
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2785
* The soft-float targeted toolchains have now been configured to
generate code using -mfloat-abi=soft.
This makes arm-linux-gnueabi and armeb-linux-gnueabi toolchains use
the “soft” FP ABI instead of “softfp”.
Historically, TCWG’s toolchains provided both “soft” and “softfp”
multilibs, but when switching from crosstool-ng to cbuildv2/abe (which
support a single multilib) “softfp” multilib was choosen. Using
“-mfloat-abi=soft” is a better choice for a gnueabi toolchain, since
it doesn’t require cores to have a floating-point unit.
This change should not break compatibility for toolchain users since
the ABI will stay the same. The compiler and glibc libraries will not
refernce FP instructions.
* Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2562:
ARM GCC 5.2 call weak function instead of strong when called through
pointer
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2562
* Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #1925:
[regression] FAIL: libgomp.fortran/retval1.f90 -O1 execution test
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1925
* Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2185:
aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ internal compiler error: in curr_insn_transform
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2185
* Backported glibc patch to simplify static malloc interposition [BZ
#20432] to correct user identified issue.
commit 058b5a41d56b9a8860dede14d97dd443792d064b
Author: Florian Weimer
Date: Fri Aug 26 22:40:27 2016 +0200
malloc: Simplify static malloc interposition [BZ #20432]
* Host binaries for x86_64 linux hosts now have symbols and debug
information stripped in order to reduce the size of the toolchain
binary archives. This reduces the archive size from 1.1G to 580M for
aarch64-linux-gnu target with the gcc-5-branch.
* Removed .la files from binary toolchain archive as these files break
autotools builds.
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2764
* The mingw toolchains are now archived using the rsync -L option in
order to avoid problems with Windows extractors and symbolic links.
https://review.linaro.org/#/c/16415/
This resolves the following user bugs:
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2684
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2192
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2762
* Copy the libwinpthread DLL into the bin directories so it gets into
the tmp directory before tar is run.
https://review.linaro.org/#/c/13723/
* Increment binutils release date to 2016_02 to reflect the most recent
commit:
commit ef90a4718f535cbe6345b4e7168baea7b1972abf
Author: Matthew Wahab <***@arm.com>
Date: Tue Jan 12 16:35:30 2016 +0000
[ARM] Support ARMv8.2 RAS extension.
* Baremetal sysroot names now contain 'newlib' rather than 'glibc'.
* Manifests now contain relative paths rather than absolute paths.
* Now generating proper manifest files.
* Fixed pi requeue support in glibc 2.21 while allowing the existing
2.21 minimum kernel default setting. This was checked into the
linaro/2.21/master branch.
