Re: C++ xgcc for arm-none-eabi fails in 7.1, 7.2 due to undefined identifiers

The toolchain you get from this script supports - in case of GCC 7 -
following multilibs:

That means you can use all ARM Cortex-M chips, with or without FPU, 32-
bit or 64-bit. You can also use ARM Cortex-R and "classic" ARM7TDMI.

This is the same set of architectures you get from the toolchain
provided by ARM.

The blog post is really old and the part about performance is mostly
obsolte (;

Generally I used the most recent components which are available for
download.

In the past - up to and including GCC 6 - the only exception were the
cases of supporting libraries (stuff like isl, mpfr, ...), where
_sometimes_ gcc docs say you must use a release from range x-y, not the
most recent one. In that case the most recent package from the range is
chosen. However the file gcc-7.2.0/gcc/doc/install.texi always says
"version x (or later)" so... I use the most recent one (; After all,
this is a "bleeding-edge" toolchain (;

Sometimes the version may be a bit older than the most recent one
either because I forgot to check, or because the most recent one has
some problems. This is the case for the most recent newlib snapshot
which fails to build for ARM - that's why I had to use a previous one.
