Meta:
Headline: Cross toolchain packages updated at both Ubuntu Quantal and Toolchain Backports PPA to reflect the latest version available.
Acceptance: Packages available at quantal and toolchain backports PPA, able to install and work without any blocker issues.

Packages for precise uploaded into my testing ppa: https://launchpad.net/~hrw/+archive/test173 - will copy to official one when get it working.
Had to add armel ones due to multilib in compiler.
