Details
B2G currently builds with the old, pretty broken, arm-eabi toolchain from the android NDK. It should use the arm-linux-androideabi toolchain instead.
Another reason you should switch, besides the arm-eabi toolchain being awful, is that it doesn't contain the atomic intrinsics that the new jemalloc uses.
Yet another reason is that it would help make the glue/gonk/prebuilt repository lighter. Much lighter.

Mike, any chance we could rope you into making the switch for us? You know toolchains like nobody else.

From what I see in the B2G main Makefile, you're already using the arm-linux-androideabi toolchain for config-nexuss-ics. Maybe it would just work to change TOOLCHAIN_PATH default.

In that case this should take care of itself soon. We are killing GB over the next weeks.

So, one main thing that prevents this from being fixable is that the only toolchains available under toolchains/ (so, from a git repo pov, git://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g-toolchains.git), are linux-x86.

We switched to arm-linux-androideabi with the switch to ICS.

GB builds of b2g are not a Tier I config, r+ on killing them on tb.

The slaves are building for ICS, with the arm-linux-androideabi toolchain now.
