lol, funny that you just looked at the same stuff ...
with teh following:

rm -rf prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/mips
rm -rf prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6
rm -rf prebuilts/gcc/darwin-x86
rm -rf prebuilt/darwin-x86 # needs change for java version check
(comment out line 126-128 in build/core/main.mk and make sure openjdk-6
is installed on the host)

this still gets me properly built images over here ... and saves about
700M in the tree ...


steve langasek was looking into dropping all toolchains from the tree
yesterday and instaed use the gcc-cross packages we provide in the
archive ... afaik he ran into some linker issues with gold, if these are
resolved we might be able to switch over and save a few gigs ...
additionally the kernels for supported devices are just being moved out
as well ... in the end we should have a much smaller tree.

ciao
