Puneet started asking questions about compiling Allwinner's own kernel (Lichee / 3.0.8) which we definitely don't support. He was told this by a couple of people and I took over when he persisted as I'm sure they have better stuff to do. My understanding is that everything and anything related to sunxi hardware, upstream or "our" development versions of u-boot and the Linux kernel, the linux-sunxi website and the Wiki, related tools, boards, BSP etc. is definitely "on topic" and that "vendor" kernels and stuff is definitely "off topic". Everything else depends. This looked like it was a question about dealing with the Lichee kernel and some related Android distro, hence, by my understanding, it is probably off topic, hence me pointing out that they may not get much help here and that they'll probably get better answers from the vendor he got the Android tree from or the pcduino community. Admittedly he was asking about toolchains, but I don't know what that Android tree expects from a compiler, so it's probably a question best asked where he got it.
