stericsson 'multimedia' and 'GPS' build has broken because of android-tool-chain4.7

Downloadedcode base using:
repo init -u ssh://gerit.lud.stericsson.com:29418/manifests/u8500/android -b iso/open/snowball-linaro

and build with 4.7 toolchain getting below compilation issues with multimedia and gps

indicates that your system 32-bit libstdc++.so.6 is too old. You may want to update it.

Please fix this and see if the remaining problems remain, then report back.

Appalan, can you pls update LP after checking with 64bit build environment?

Hi
I have given compilation on standalone ubuntu PC , where 64 bit libraries are installed and still I am getting same error.
For more details find attached log.
Thanks,
Appala

Relevant piece from the log:

This:
out/target/product/snowball/obj/mmbuildout/lib/cortexA9-x-android-u8500_v2/libst_enswrapper.a(ENS_Wrapper.o): requires unsupported dynamic reloc R_ARM_REL32; recompile with -fPIC
is likely a problem with the ENS_Wrapper.o part of libst_enswrapper.a (either the file isn't built with -fPIC or it contains assembly code that doesn't do PIC).

This:
/home/sunil/tool_4.7/android-toolchain-eabi/bin/../libexec/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.7.1/real-ld: error: hidden symbol '__dso_handle' is not defined locally
is likely a problem with your local setup (libc?). You may want to try recompiling the toolchain on your machine, this looks like it could be a binary incompatibility issue.

[Anmar Oueja (anmar)]

Appala: Did you get a chance to talk to Michael Hope during connect? If not, I suggest you get in touch with him and try compiling the binaries on another 64bit machine with a fresh install to rule out the second issue Bernhard outlined in #5.

[Jayeeta Bandyopadhyay (jayeeta)]

GCC 4.7 toolchain support for ICS delivery is optional now., reducing priority.

[Jayeeta Bandyopadhyay (jayeeta)]

The compile issue with GCC 4.7 toolchain when compiling proprietary MM S/W, is not concluded with Linaro Tools team.
As the compile issue is only valid for ICS not for JB. The vendor tarball delivery with GCC 4.7 is not a must for ICS .

The last status of this issue as follow
Compilation error is fixed with gcc flag, "-mvectorize-with-neon-double", but the resultant build is functionally not tested and correctness of the fix is not confirmed by Linaro Tools team.
