Whiteboard

[2012/07/23 robbeane] Switching to Linaro 4.7-2012.07 with current source introduces new build error.. http://pastebin.com/juVZ6ZdT ..but the fix for compiling stlport with -fPIC is already applied. Will need to investigate further.

[2012/07/28 robbeane] The compile error above was due to the recent aosp/master merge 3bbb4f2. Reverting the merge fixes the compile error, so we still need to figure out which exact commit is causing it. But it seems that 4.7 is still causing com.android.phone to crash when disabling Bluetooth http://pastebin.com/WSiHjwf0 .. Will need to investigate further.

[2012/08/09 robbeane] Moved to backlog
