Actually, I thought this was an armv5l regression. (My objection was to= =20 requiring a newer toolchain for architectures that built fine under the= =20 old one. My attention was attracted by the proposed patch to =20 Documentation/changes with a global updated for required binutils =20 version.) I've since had a chance to confirm the armv5 build break I saw was just= =20 normal mid-rc1 noise (since fixed) and this set of patches just applies= =20 to armv7, which already required a newer binutils, so objection =20 withdrawn.
