I'm happy to update GNU tools for ARC cores to the most recent
arc-2015.06 release.
This release brings following major improvements:
* GCC: source update to v4.8.4
* GCC: C ABI compatibility between MetaWare and GNU toolchains
* uClibc: support for thread local storage and Native Pthread Library (NPTL)
* GDB: updated to version 7.9.1
Also a lot of fixes and improvements has been done, please refer to

for more details.

Even though this is only RC1 it's been heavily used internally so it should
not be any worse than existing arc-2014.12.
Moreover this relase (and so its RC1) finally delivers support of NPTL
for ARC in uClibc.
That's why it would be good to allow interested users to start trying it
(for example WebKit and apps that use WebKit could be successfully built
and run) also it will be helpful to run that new toolchain through
autobuilder in attempt to find any hidden regressions so we have a solid
toolchain for release.
If there's an interest in that patch more patches will follow with
subsequent RCs and essentially on appearence or relese Buildroot will be
updated with it.

Note that both gdb 7.9 and 7.9.1 fail to build in a chroot without
texinfo, due to the infamous makeinfo issue. This should be fixed
separately.
