Why did you choose CodeSourcery? I do not know much about it and how difficult it is to obtain and install. But would not the GNU GCC be also good enough for compiling for ARM?
CodeSourcery is one of the main gcc developers/service providers. Their products are (very likely) all gcc-based.
Right. In particular the G++ Lite product is nothing but an ARM cross compile toolchain with GCC and binutils.

Source is also available. For Linux I recommend the "Advanced Package" with only a tarball because their installer script has not worked very well for me.
