I've added the "depends on BROKEN" because this toolchain
breaks linux kernel arm builds:
"arch/arm/lib/copy_template.S:247: Error: selected processor
 does not support ARM mode `ldralt r4,[r1],#4'"

  Then why would we add support for that toolchain to buildroot?

You are right, that toolchain it's not useful to buildroot.
At least that email can be useful as an advice for who want to use
that toolchain with buildroot.

I've opened a new discussion about this bug on the Mentor's Forum:
