I guess the short answer is that for somebody wanting a stable toolchain, picking a release from the 4.5 series is the safer bet, and if you do find bugs, well, report them to launchpad.net/gcc-linaro or to this mailing list. PS: Michael, can you update the flyer to include the links I suggested we add to the release announcement? -- Christian Robottom Reis | [+55] 16 9112 6430 | http://launchpad.net/~kiko Linaro Engineering VP | [ +1] 612 216 4935 | http://async.com.br/~kiko _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
