The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2017.10
snapshot of Linaro GCC 6 and 7 source packages.
o The GCC 7 series introduced an ABI change for ARM targets by fixing a bug
(present since GCC 5, see link below) that affects conformance to the
procedure
call standard (AAPCS). The bug affects some C++ code where class objects
are
passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent
code
being generated. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the
compiler
will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected by this ABI
change.

o Linaro GCC 7 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 7.2+svn253626 and
includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline
GCC.

put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed.
