[RFH] Test on hardware with GCC 4.7.3

[Paul Menzel]

Dear coreboot folks,

could you please test building coreboot for your hardware with GCC 4.7.3
and report back your results [1]? Make sure to save your build with GCC
4.7.2 for comparison beforehand as `make crossgcc` will delete `build/`.

$ cd your/coreboot/git/clone
        $ git fetch http://review.coreboot.org/coreboot refs/changes/12/3112/6 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
        $ make crossgcc # builds i386-elf and armv7a-eabi toolchains
        $ make
        $ sudo flashrom …

Thanks,

Paul

Did you mean to suggest saving the xgcc directory? build/ is not needed
unless you're debugging buildgcc itself. In which case you can run
buildgcc with option -t.

No, I meant `build/` for comparison of the files and images build with
GCC 4.7.2 and 4.7.3.

Thanks,

My Asus M4A785T-M mainboards still boots with it.

It also works on the Lenovo x60, I only did basic testing:
it booted through:
coreboot->grub->seabios->grub->linux kernel, and was
accesible trough the serial port(I didn't have the keyboard connected)
and kdm was visible on the display.
