chromium-browser: Outdated in raspbian

[mpthompson]

Using advice from Hexxeh, I modified the builds rules to utilize armv6 code, vfp and hard float ABI. However, the package still fails several hours into the build with a syntax error.

Attempting a rebuild of chromium-browser_18.0.1025.151~r130497-1+rpi1 on 6/3/12 and will update the bug base with additional information if the build fails once again.

We now have a chromium package in raspbian but it is a couple of versions out of date. Trying to upgrade but running into problems with linker bugs (with gold) and address space exhaustion (with bfd)

[peter green (plugwash)]

We are now in sync with debian on chromium version.
