no guide about how to setup up linaro like Sourcery toolchain.

I invite all community members with experience in compilation, testing with Linaro 4.7.1 toolchain,
know that the previous version and instability caused incopatibilidad CM9, but I think the new Linaro 4.7.1 toolchain is compatible,
Here is a link as a reference for a dev to compile your kernel and CM9, and works great.

I think this may be possible, those who support this project by CM9 rom faster and have the benefits Linaro.
LINARO INFORMATION
Kernels can be compiled with Linaro toolchain, really nothing new. CM9 source code needs to be modified to compile with Linaro, IMO it isn't worth it. Also, why in the hell do we need any OpenWRT-related Linaro patch?
What a difference a ROM system in Linaro?
Dunno if a rom compiled with linaro -o3 would make any notable difference on our device but again I have no idea and we can only wait for a dev's input on this.
Can someone tell me the differences between sabermod and ubertc?
I have already google it .
What i found it s all about sabermod , i know what is sabermod and i have tested it but ubertc i have no idea what it is.
I am more interested,specialy , in the battery life .
I've been following all the wonderful guides for building and compiling; but I've been having trouble finding the exact locations of the toolchains.
So I'd like to share my manifest for the same.
The repo tool can be used for getting all the toolchains [that I know] in one go for ease of development,

The instructions are given there.

Clang Kernel template for Marlin/Sailfish
What is this?
This is a marlin clang template that can be used to create kernels that compile using clang toolchains. It has all the commits by @nathanchance that optimize clang for the Pixel and XL models
What Does this Mean for me?
The 4.x kernels use clang as a toolchain for compilation. Our kernel is 3.18.x, we do not immediately use clang for compilation. GCC is the key part when compiling a 3.18.x kernel. Using clang adds battery and stability improvements (which I have observed). People are readily adopting clang as a compiler and I just want to ease the workload to cherry pick all the commits required to run clang on a marlin or sailfish device.
Where can I find it?
It is found in my git repository linked here: https://github.com/kingbri1/MarlinClangRef
How Do I use it?
All you do is clone it and look at @nathanchance's guide on how to compile with clang https://github.com/nathanchance/android-kernel-clang
Updates
I will be updating this kernel base to the latest security patches and versions, nothing more, nothing less
Thanks to...
@razorloves -I used his kernel base
@nathanchance for putting the time in to create the commits for clang to be used on Pixels and other devices
