[Buildroot] no crosstool-ng 1.17.0 in 2012.11

[Buildroot] no crosstool-ng 1.17.0 in 2012.11

[Carsten Schoenert]

Hello,

as I can see the new stable release 2012.11 of buildroot was releasd.

I was hoping that the current crosstool-ng version 1.17.0 would be
placed into buildroot 1012.11.
Any special reason why crosstool-ng is still 1.16.0 or was it just
forgotten to update? :)

Regards
Carsten

Possibly because we didn't receive your patch to make this change? :-)

crosstool-NG 1.17.0 was released too late for inclusion in buildroot 2012.11.
I did not even try to update it.

If all goes well, I'll push the next ct-ng version in time for inclusion in
the next BR release.

Hopefully, all will go well, but there's FOSDEM at just about the time the
next release of ct-ng is due. So, we'll see... :-/

Alternatively, interested users ( eg. you! ;-) ) can post a patch! ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

o.k. that's the explanation. ;)

Yes, FOSDEM in the cold city of Brussels. I'll be there.

I will do, right now a arm gcc 4.7.2 is builded. I will before checking
some things inside my branch. Until now everything work well, even the
compiler warnings are gone while cross compiler is building. ;)
