Re: Looking for GNU toolchain solution for ARM

what's the most popular and reliable toolchain solution for ARM

but seems i have to face with the daunting task of package ( and
patches ) selection.
Big companies aren't that sure about their own know-how as guys like
Karim :-) And therefore use and recommend distros like Debian and
toolchains like Scratchbox :

on the other hand, i heard the 'www.gnuarm.com' which provides
off-the-shelf binary toolchain for ARM,
"Embedded ARM" != "Embedded Linux/ARM"
What you need, Linux on some ARM system or only some firmware
monitor first and then being completed or replaced with your own
firmware? Maybe you could even consider NetBSD or something
as an alternative for Linux :
