Ok, I already looked with Google using "Brew applications" and that 
gave data
about ARM7TDMI in some old article coming as the first hit...  So maybe 
it would
be best to use Google or  something,  the situation being quite similar 
to needing
tools for the Symbian OS, then 'www.forum.nokia.com' or something would give
them.  Maybe Qualcomm provides free prebuilt toolchains...

Producing crosscompilers even for the "usual" targets, 'arm-elf', 
'arm*-linux-gnu'
etc. seems to be quite tough for many... So prebuilt tools can be a sane 
choice.
"Practice with a prebuilt car before starting to build your own, if 
never seen a car
before"...  With them the 'http://www.gnuarm.org' could be a place to 
start, but not
with Symbian and seemingly not with this "BREW" either...
