We don't "brew our own" and we never did. We just use fixed version
combos, and we patch a few problems with them.
Yes sure. I meant "brew our own" as in we are not able to use upstream
as is, but that's not strictly our fault.
I suggest that if or when we change version, we change to another
fixed combo so that we know that it is a working set.
That was my plan.
Also, I very much doubt that people will be able to "use the one their
distro provides" with Rockbox very widely as in the past that has just
lead to a lot of bad faces and broken binaries. Mostly that is because
our build system and view of what a compiler set does is usually not
the same as the view the distro-packagers have that put together
cross-compilers.
Of course we can also alter our build setup etc to better adjust to
such compiler sets.
I can't follow your last sentence.
Are there any opinions?
I'm rather indifferent. To me it seems there's no particularly strong
reason to switch, so thus it is easier not to switch. But this is not
a strong sentiment.
Well, I think the huge binsize win on most of our ARM targets is a good
reason.
Best regards.
