Release notes 

Linaro GCC 4.6 2011.10 is the eighth release in the 4.6 series. Based
off the latest GCC 4.6.1+svn179483, it contains a range of vectoriser
performance improvements and general bug fixes.

Interesting changes include:
 * Updates to 4.6.1+svn179483
 * Vectorises more straight-line code with data dependencies
 * Now picks the best vector width when vectorising straight line code
 * Better handles handling auto increment addresses in SMS
 * Changes the default vector width from double word to quad word
 * Better handling extracting the top or bottom half of a quad word vector
 * Now supports the NEON absolute difference instruction

Fixes:
 * LP: #689887 ICE in get_arm_condition_code
 * LP: #809761 oss4 version 4.2-build2004-1ubuntu1 failed to build on armel
