what's the most popular and reliable toolchain solution for ARM target? i am reading Karim's book 'Building Embedded Linux System' which introduced how to build a toolchain manually. it's interesting but seems i have to face with the daunting task of package ( and patches ) selection.
Big companies aren't that sure about their own know-how as guys like Karim :-) And therefore use and recommend distros like Debian and toolchains like Scratchbox : http://www.debian.org http://scratchbox.org
on the other hand, i heard the 'www.gnuarm.com' which provides off-the-shelf binary toolchain for ARM,
"Embedded ARM" != "Embedded Linux/ARM" What you need, Linux on some ARM system or only some firmware monitor first and then being completed or replaced with your own firmware? Maybe you could even consider NetBSD or something as an alternative for Linux : http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/evbarm/
