we could just use clang but since libadblockplus uses gcc i believe we should
prefer gcc 4.8 to clang

BTW i've just found that `clang` is used to build libadblockplus:
https://hg.adblockplus.org/libadblockplus/file/tip/Makefile#l64

what toolchain should we prefer now?

Since we're using clang on libadblockplus and  gcc is now deprecated, I would go
for using clang, but no strong opinion about that

gcc is deprecated in the recent android NDK but our next version of v8 is using
gcc when it's built for arm. I would suggest to use the same gcc everywhere for
present and switch to clang when it's done in v8.

BTW, I have just checked:

currently v8 is compiled by g++-4.6 for both arm and android-x86, libadblockplus
- clang3.4, ndk 10d.

The next version of v8 will use g++-4.9 for both arm android-x86, ndk 12b and I
plan to use the same g++ for libadblockplus.

Does version 4.8 actually work for you currently?
