Can you comment on what you expect to get out of the Linaro toolchain layer? As had been noted here, OE already has some of the Linaro work in the toolchains. However, we have had issues with some patches so we can't run a "complete Linaro toolchain". (Toolchain guys, correct me if I am wrong) >From my perspective, the Linaro work is great (I primarily use Cortex-A8 devices), but my understanding is that due to Linaro's focus on advanced ARM processors, regressions for other architectures and older arms can occur. So I see the point of a dedicated Linaro tool layer being an excellent vehicle for testing Linaro's work on a diverse set of machines to make life easier for people using Linaro's work on other architectures.
