Heh, I was about to suggest just deleting the whole section, too.  I 
think nowadays most people get native GCC from their OS distro and cross 
toolchains for embedded targets from their hardware vendor or consortium 
(e.g., Linaro).  And, well, there's Google if you need help finding a 
GCC for your target....

That said, I think removing broken or unuseful links from the 
documentation qualifies as an "obvious" fix, if folks think the 
remaining information in the section is actually useful.
