[Buildroot] buildroot with linaro-5.2-2015.11-1 toolchain

[Patrick Doyle]

arrgghh...nothing seems to be going smoothly today.  Well, some days
are like that..

Is buildroot known to work (or not work) with the linaro-5.2-2015.11-1
toolchain (available at
https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-5.2/arm-linux-gnueabihf/)
specified as an external preinstalled toolchain?

Obviously, I'm asking because it's not working for me.  Things appear
to start going south when the following command:

$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -print-file-name=libc.a


produces the following output on my system:

libc.a

Did I do something wrong when I installed it?  (I just unpacked it into /opt).

--wpd

Never mind... apparently there is a linaro-5.2-2015.11-2 toolchain,
which does work (for me).

Sorry for the noise.

Don't use 5.2-2015.11-1 it's broken use 5.2-2015.11-2 which is already supported
by Buildroot 2016.02-rc2.

See https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1995

Just use latest master or 2016.02-rc archive :p

Thanks.  I managed to track that down just _after_ I posted my
frustrated email :-)

Golly it would be nice if the latest-5.2 link at
https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ pointed
folks at the 11-2 toolchain instead of the 11-1 toolchain.

Oh well.
