This is not a correct fix. The correct one is to not use https:// URLs
for any downloads, but instead http: ones under
http://android-build.linaro.org/download/ , in this case:

http://android-build.linaro.org/download/linaro-android_toolchain-4.6-bzr/lastSuccessful/archive/build/out/android-toolchain-eabi-4.6-daily-linux-x86.tar.bz2

They are available for like half a year now. It's probably time to
remove --no-check-certificate from the build scripts to make sure that
all cases where deprecated internal URLs are used are updated and
they are not used again.

Actually, by now, even http://android-build.linaro.org/download/ links
might have been gone, and we might have disabled Jenkins archiving
for toolchains, like we did for platform builds (because free space on
android-build keeps slowly melting away). Well, as can be seen from the
link quoted above, it can't be done so far, because
snapshots.linaro.org doesn't support symlinks like "lastSuccessful".
Deepti, these apparently should be generated by the script you
currently develop

As mentioned above, the suggested fix is to remove --no-check-certificate from the builds scripts, to enforce usage of up-to-date links.

Was deployed on weekend to catch as many as possible cases before work week. Working on resolving the last cases.

Ok, all daily builds are ok, closing.
