The avr chain is in good hands. The arm chain is currently for the gp2x

Ok. We should talk ARM. I noticed all you seemed to have was GP2X (which
I debated buying but don't have currently).
Good call on ont buying it, they now have a new version out with better joypad
and a touchscreen, definitely worth the buy now!
I generally work on ARM/PPC
and have a few ARM devices kicking around. Let's ask the wider audience
what they think about having a more generic toolchain.
I think it would be great to have one toolchain to support as many arm boards /
systems as possible, or as said rather 2: a glibc chain and a uclibc chain.
The question is can we make things generic and still set off reasonably optimal
code for a wide range of arm systems. I'm not asking for the last 5-10%, but we
should be able to get atleast upto 90% with regards to code-size, but also
speed of a custom build toolchain for a specific target if our generic libc
becomes much much larger then a special one, and cannot be modularized then I'm
afraid that having a generic toolchain isn't much good as lots of arm usage is
embedded and size often matters there.
