Which gcc4.6 release?
And more importantly, what gain were you able to register?

Isn't the new Linaro tool chain 4.7?

op says 4.6

No discernible performance difference, by feel or benchmark to my noob eye. Antutu'd at 6100 on the stock kernel/settings which is normal. Some graphical glitches when exiting apps. The standard ICS animation scales were slightly more tolerable than normal, or that could be wishful thinking.

A ton of Linaro related commits and a lot of work to do to make it all work I'm sure; hope to see them merged officially soon.

Used gcc 4.6 because I am building on 10.10 and 4.7 isn't available.

my point exactly. if it is linaro 4.6, both 4.6 and 4.7 are for download, you don't have to depend on the debian/ubuntu repository.
