[ECOS] eCos arm-eabi GNU tools - test release 4.6.2-20120125

[John Dallaway]

Ilija Kocho has been working with a new set of GNU tools for ARM targets
based on GCC 4.6.2. The new tools incorporate support for Cortex-M4 SIMD
and FPU instructions. Ref:

   http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-devel/2012-01/msg00003.html

I have generated builds of these tools intended for wider testing within
the eCos community. The test builds can be downloaded from the eCos ftp
site and are located under the "gnutools" directory:

Cygwin-hosted:
gnutools/cygwin/test/ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120125.cygwin.tar.bz2

Linux-hosted:
gnutools/i386linux/test/ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120125.i386linux.tar.bz2

Please use a mirror site in your own geographical region to access these
files. Sites which mirror the eCos ftp area are listed at:

  http://ecos.sourceware.org/mirror.html

The tools may be extracted into the current working directory from the
downloaded archive files by using one of the following commands at a
bash prompt:

  tar jxvf ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120125.cygwin.tar.bz2
  tar jxvf ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120125.i386linux.tar.bz2

The Linux-hosted tools should work on most Linux distributions. The
Cygwin-hosted tools require a recent Cygwin installation including the
"libexpat1" and "libmpc1" packages.

Your feedback is welcome. Please report any issues at:
