Public bug reported: Please sync newlib 2.1.0+git20140818.1a8323b-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)
Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception: The current newlib package in Utopic is loosely based on the toolchain distributed at [1] by the very ARM employees developping the ARM embedded cross-toolchain upstream. In the past months we have worked with the maintainers of the Debian package to merge our work in the Debian package so that it's as closed as possible to the tarball we release. [1] https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded We believe it would be better for Ubuntu to sync these changes. even at this point of the release schedule, as this toolchain has seen much wider testing. Indeed, we do lots of internal testing on real boards and the number of users of this toolchain outnumbers the number of users of the one provided in the current Ubuntu toolchain.
