Android: vendor.tar.bz2 built with 4.7 tool chain needed

[Patrik Ryd]

The Linaro Android 4.0.4 builds uses the 4.7 tool chain.

A vendor.tar.bz2 built with 4.7 tool chain needed to complete the BP https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+spec/snowball-mm-to-4.0.4.

Currently we are working on it. some progress in last couple of days. But facing some omx issue. Will inform Anmar if we find any issue with toolchain.

[Sunil Kamath (sunil-kamath)]

Build chain issue is getting debugged. once after solving that we should be able to build vendor components.

This bug is dependent on #1000200 stericsson 'multimedia' and 'GPS' build has broken because of android-tool-chain4.7

4.7 toolchain support is not a must for ICS delivery, so reducing priority

[Jayeeta Bandyopadhyay (jayeeta)]

The compile issue with GCC 4.7 toolchain when compiling proprietary MM S/W, is not concluded with Linaro.
As the compile issue is only valid for ICS not for JB. The vendor tarball delivery is not a must for ICS with GCC4.7.

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.
