Hrm, somehow I don't understand it. On [1] you're
talking about gcc 4.1.2 and binutils 2.17 supporting
the -mcpu switch. But if you download the 2007R1 RC9
toolchain from the Files section of the site (tar.gz)
you actually get 4.1.1 without mcpu support. But the
version string from gcc indicates 07r1.
Care to explain?

the syntax of the -mcpu option was extended

ps: All in all it is a bit unfortunate to put features
in the upstream kernel for a toolchain version just
available from svn.

an ideal world we'd have it all be stable and done ... in reality,
we're pushing and trying to stabilize on multiple fronts in parallel
rather than stretching out development time over a much longer period
