intersectRedstar "Mjǫlnir" Android Toolchain

Introduction

This project aims to build an optimized toolchain for compiling the Android kernel.

It will be specifically targeted for the Google Nexus One (HTC Passion) and more specifically towards the Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8x50 SoC / ARMv7 Scorpion CPU.

That being said, it should be generally applicable to other ARM Cortex-Ax based SoCs (A8,A9...etc) as well.
