[JamieBennett, 06-04-2011]; Set to essential.
[asac, apr 21 2011]: release place should be releases.linaro.org. if there is a relesae tarball tell jamiebennett and he will release
[asac, apr 28 2011]: jserv packaged april toolchain and is available here: http://people.linaro.org/~jserv/toolchain/
[asac, apr 29 2011]: build works again; however, booting the build doesnt show output of monitor. please file a bug on that!!

After discussing with asac, we would like to maintain the following repositories:
 * android/toolchain/build.git
 * android/toolchain/manifests.git
 * android/toolchain/gcc-patches.git

And, we need an approach to ensure "stable Linaro toolchain" release from build system. Therefore,
it is better to fetch and build from scratch by certain downloadable URL.
