[RFC] Move gcc 4.4.3 recipes in favour of 4.4.4

[RFC] Move gcc 4.4.3 recipes in favour of 4.4.4

[Khem Raj]

Hi

I would like to propose to move gcc 4.4.3 recipes to gcc 4.4.4, 
there are no additional patches that we need and 4.4.4 is superset
of bugfixes. I want to avoid adding additional recipes if we could.
4.4.3 is not so widely used in distributions unlike 4.4.2

I can also just add 4.4.4 and leave 4.4.3 as it is if someone wants
to keep using 4.4.3

Please cast your concerns

Thanks
-Khem

SHR is using 4.4.3 and I don't mind moving to 4.4.4. Thanks for adding
it.

Any news about 4.5.0 producing segfaulting binaries on armv[45]t?

I have been able to reproduce it using 2.6.33 on osk5912 but no time to
debug so far :(

Using 4.4.3 here, think it'd be nice to move to 4.4.4.

Hi,

My guess: just because it's not preferred by sane-toolchain.inc?

what about updating
conf/distro/include/sane-toolchain.inc
to 4.4.4 if we don't find any new issue with it?

I haven't found any new issue with 4.4.3 (using it since it was
added), rebuilding images with 4.4.4 now.

Cheers,

Here is a patch to move gcc to 4.4.4, eglibc to 2.11 and binutils to
2.20.1 releases as defaults. I have tested this combination on ARM
and x86 without any regressions that I dont have on existing combination. 

sane-toolchain.in is used by kaeilos-2010, shr, micro and minimal DISTROs
if the maintainers are ok with this then please ack this patch

Thanks

We (SHR) are using this combination already without problems, so ACK.

Just built mine, works like charm. Thanks, Khem!
