[bari]

Hamo,

What's your plan for the ARM tool chain? QEMU on x86 or?

Why not just cross compile.

Yes, I will use a cross compile toolchain from CodeSourcery G++ Lite
and test my code maybe using qemu-system-arm on x86 or a real
platform.

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.

Download at

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.
