Differences from original linaro release:
- the most recent components used where possible, core components directly from HEADs of repositories
- compiled with recent toolchain, which results in much better performance on host system
- lack of newlib-nano, samples and some text files
- lack of size-optimized C++ libraries (see below)
- libstdc++ with disabled exceptions (as in size-optimized libraries that come in "nano" set)
- all libraries are not stripped - can be debugged
- newlib with different configure options (--enable-newlib-register-fini removed, --disable-newlib-atexit-alloc,
  --enable-newlib-reent-small, --disable-newlib-fvwrite-in-streamio, --disable-newlib-fseek-optimization,
  --disable-newlib-wide-orient)

Build commands used:
