Details

The linux valgrind target on tinderbox uses an old gcc which doesn't support AVX2 intrinsics. This is blocking landing new optimizations for libvpx video decoding.

We should bump this target to use the same compiler as the normal linux firefox build, which is fine with the new code.
I'm told the correct fix for this is to port this target to tooltool, but I don't know how to do that.

Laura - can you get this in someone's queue? It is blocking a VP9 perf regression fix.

It uses 4.7.3, like other builds, except it doesn't take it from tooltool, like other builds. Are you sure it's really the problem?
Ah, the problem is not GCC, it's GNU as, the tooltool gcc comes with a newer binutils.
