I know what's going on with those.

We have a single kconfig option to select the Linaro toolchain.
Depending on the host (ix86 or x86_64), different toolchains are used.

So, on an ix86 host, the old 2014.09 toolchain is used, while on an
x86_64 host, the new 2015.08 toolchain is used.

The way we decide which toolchain to used is based on the result of
`uname -m`.

However, what we should really be checking for is whether the host
_system_ is 32-bit or 64-bit.

For example, on a x86_64 host, one run a pure 32bit userland, even with
a 64-bit kernel. That's the case in a ix86 chroot, like our
autobuilders.

Note that I did test this situation, and did not have the issue, because
I run my 32-bit chroot via setarch, like so;

    setarch i386 -B chroot blabla...

So, I believe the way we fill-in $(HOSTARCH) is ultimately wrong. We
should not be checking if the kernel is running in 32- or 64-bit mode,
but we should really be checking if the userland is 32- or 64-bit.

I'll cook up a patch...

Yann E. MORIN.
