Both 2.1 and 3.12 build for FSO (so should build for other openmoko
distros too), but 2.1 is specified in the openmoko pinned versions file.

If someone can verify that the 3.12 version from OpenEmbedded actually
does something sensible on an openmoko phone, then I can change the
pinning to 3.12 and add it to task-openmoko-feed.bb and it will
automatically appear in the fso feeds.
