-	  Linaro toolchain for the ARM architecture. It uses Linaro
-	  GCC 2012.05 (based on gcc 4.7), Linaro GDB 2012.05 (based on
-	  GDB 7.4), eglibc 2.13. It generates code that runs on all
-	  Cortex-A profile devices, but tuned for the Cortex-A9. The
-	  code generated is Thumb 2, with the hard floating point
-	  calling convention, and uses the VFPv3-D16 FPU instructions.
