IMO, we're too close to -rc1 for this series to go in. I'll probably
merge the first five preparation patches, but I'd prefer to merge the
rest in the next branch.

Right.

Well, this is what we are trying to achieve to some extent with the
Config.in.legacy.

Regardless of whether it's for backward compat reasons or not, I still
think the Sourcery toolchain should be used by default on ARM EABI, and
not the older Arago toolchain, even if Arago is sorted alphabetically
before Sourcery. Which is why I suggest to have a "default" statement
in the Config.in choice for external toolchains.

Best regards,
