Note that installing this will uninstall gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf and then you will get the error:

error: linker `arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc` not found

I just ran into this problem and I'm stuck with the inability to compile for ARM v7 from my Ubuntu machine. Is there a workaround for this? I actually need this capability for the chapter I'm working on in my WebAssembly book.
