+	  Linaro toolchain for the ARM big endian architecture. It
+	  uses Linaro GCC 2014.01 (based on gcc 4.8), Linaro GDB
+	  2013.10 (based on GDB 7.6), eglibc 2.18, Binutils 2013.11
+	  (based on 2.24). It generates code that runs on all Cortex-A
+	  profile devices, but tuned for the Cortex-A9. The code
+	  generated is Thumb 2, with the hard floating point calling
+	  convention, and uses the VFPv3-D16 FPU instructions.
