Hello Peter,

yroux has confirmed that the updated toolchain is not
ready yet ("the stack clash mitigation patchset is still
under discussion/review on GCC list").

There will be an update to GCC 6.4 in 2-3 weeks which will
include the mitigation patches *if* they are ready.

In the mean time, could you cherry-pick:

641fe0e39240 toolchain-external: bump Linaro AArch64 toolchain to 2017.02
52f059f38d46 toolchain-external: bump Linaro ARMeb toolchain to 2017.02
075d26900b4f toolchain-external: bump Linaro ARM toolchain to 2017.02

onto the 2017.02.x branch, so that it is in sync with master?

Regards.
