I suggest changing armcompilerlocation to  DEFAULT_ARM_CROSS_COMPILER_PATH at
the top of this file and changing it back to the gnu compiler (again, sorry for
confusion).
Additionally, I would add a comment above saying:
To make sure that you have arm cross compilation tools installed run:
wget http://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src/build/install-build-deps.sh
./install-build-deps.sh --arm
(also add this to wiki)

[zra, 2013/04/10 19:04:49]

Done. I also updated the "Preparing Your Machine" section of the wiki to mention
the --arm flag to install-build-deps.sh.

Alternatively, and even better, could we show an error if you try and the cross
compiler is not there (specifying how to get them installed as stated above?

[zra, 2013/04/15 17:52:58]

Done.
