1252187 - [Aries-KK] Upgrade device toolchain to gcc-4.8

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Juan Gomez [:_AtilA_] (CET/CEST)]

As per bug 1251717, this is a good moment to upgrade the toolchain to gcc-4.8.
This will require a simple modification in the kernel Makefile (haven't found any better approach) and add some variables to device config file.
PR soon!

BTW, if there's any chance that this might build on OSX, it might be worth adding the osx versions of the toolchain to the manifest.

All merged.
I'm going to file a new bug for the OSX toolchain.

I should never do review when I am falling asleep. You should revert the device-aries commit and land this on device-shinano-common, so it also applies to Z3 (leo) device

Ok, I don't have a Leo device to test the build. As soon as I get a a volunteer, I'll move the bits to shinano-common :)
