Gah. I had all these building with 5.1 .. chasing gcc is a pain
with this older kernel.

Now that 4.1 is in place, and I can't really see a large user base that
needs gcc 5.x with the linux-yocto 3.14 kernel (other folks using
master with their own kernel's will obviously have to deal with the
issue in their trees) .. join that with the fact that we need to update
all the reference boards to 4.1 anyway, my suggestion is that we open
bugs for the h/w reference updates (and I'll get the appropriate Wind
River eyes on them) and walk away from burning more cycles on gcc 5.x
and the 3.14 kernel.

Cheers,

Bruce
