Release notes 

Linaro GCC 4.6 2012.08 is the eighteenth release in the 4.6 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.6.3+svn189991 release, this is the fifth release after entering maintenance.

Interesting changes include:

    Updates to 4.6.3+svn189991
    A bug has been fixed in GCC's implementation of the AAPCS rules for the layout of vectors that could lead to wrong code being generated. Vectors larger than 8 bytes in size are now by default aligned to an 8-byte boundary. This is an ABI change: code that makes explicit use of vector types may be incompatible with binary objects built with older versions of GCC. Auto-vectorized code is not affected by this change.
