Support for the SPARC architecture has been added. Major components have been upgraded: gcc-4.6.0 and the Linaro versions, linux-2.6.38.4, eglibc-2.13, gdb Linaro version. A new chapter has been added to the documentation, with an in-depth explanation on how to build a toolchain. Numerous minor enhancements have been made, and many bugs have been fixed.

Stripping of binaries has been fixed. The makeinfo wrapper has been fixed. GCC plugins are no longer built for static toolchains. LinuxThreads have been removed in latest versions of glibc/eglibc. The gold linker is now hidden for architectures that have no gold support.

Scanning of /etc/ld.so.conf and support for RPATH tags has been added to the cross-ldd. Support for building statically linked toolchains has been added. Major components (gcc, binutils, Linux kernel, glibc) have been updated to their latest versions. The documentation has been updated, and many bugs have been fixed.

The scripts installed by eglibc have been fixed to use the real bash instead of the bash wrapper. Removal of the documentation has been fixed. Building gdb-7.2 for PPC has been fixed.
