here is the analysis of the build failures. afaics, there is only one toolchain related build failure, u-boot. Both upstream and debian already stopped building that one, and this ZUMA platform was never supported in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

These require some updates for the toolchain. binutils takes some selected patches to fix specific issues, and gcc-4.8 takes the state of the current gcc-4.8 fsf branch to update the compiler. Changes and addresses issues are mentioned in the debian changelog. Packages are prepared in the ubuntu-toolchain-r/ppa PPA, and a test rebuild of the archive was done on all architectures using this PPA. The results of this test rebuild look ok (for all of the -release, -updates and -security pockets). As a further test, the linux (see bug #1383474), firefox and libreoffice packages were rebuilt, tested and found working. The test rebuild archives are: http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20140911-trusty.html http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20140912-trusty.html http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20140913-trusty.html gcc-4.8 should be built with the new binutils.
