Comment (by mingwandroid):

 > Ray: Is it possible to build the cross-compiler with a clang version <
 3.3?

 Yes, but I need to backport some recent fixes from 3.3 to 3.1 (and 3.2
 while I'm at it) first.

 It's probably worthwhile fixing the ESR17 clang 3.3 issue as clang 3.3
 should produce faster binaries. Let me know how ESR24 goes, I will
 backport the 3.3 fixes tonight and then give you details of how to build
 it (I think it's just a matter of replacing all 3_3 in crosstool.config
 and with 3_1).
