You're talking about Arago vs. Sourcery, and you conclude with a
question about Linaro vs. Sourcery, so I'm confused.
So:
- The Linaro toolchain is EABIhf, the Sourcery toolchain is EABI, so
there is never a choice between Linaro and Sourcery for a given
target configuration.
- The Arago toolchain is indeed old, and I'd rather not use it for our
default on ARM. Maybe we can keep an alphabetic ordering, and add a
"default" Config.in clause in the choice...endchoice? Yes, it is
weird to have such a default in the generic code, but I don't see
another option.
Thanks,
Thomas
