h2. NOTES
-* The toolchain component source release archives for the individual components are at "http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/":http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/. Select the component (e.g. gcc, glibc, binutils, gdb) as available. If the component isn't available then it means that a git repository tag or branch was used for the binary toolchain build. Please refer to the manifest files for complete information on the components used to build this toolchain.

* Eglibc 2.15 compatible sysroots will no longer be released. Users that require Eglibc 2.15 sysroots that need the latest Linaro GCC compiler should use a previous quarterly released sysroot of the required version.
-* x86 (32-bit) Linux host toolchains are no longer provided. x86_64 (64-bit) Linux host toolchains are provided instead.
+* With the exception of the arm-linux-gnueabihf targetted toolchain, the x86 (32-bit) Linux host toolchains are no longer provided. x86_64 (64-bit) Linux host toolchains are provided instead. This is because using LTO requires a 64-bit host toolchain.
* The arm-linux-gnueabihf targeted toolchain no longer supports soft-float. The arm-linux-gnueabi targeted toolchain should be used for this purpose.
