EMUL-ARM supports GNU versions 2.95 and 3.2. We use the MicroCross GNU in our testing, and perhaps you shcould consider MicroCross GNU.

We recommend buying the MicroCross GNU tools rather than building them yourself not only because it is hassle free and has a relatively low cost, but also because EMUL-ARM supports it. On the other hand, if you are comfortable building your own GNU tools, by all means go ahead. Nohau® will continue to try to support GNU as long as it is Elf/Dwarf.

Please note that Nohau® does not recommend the GNU compiler without reservations: many people like it, but others do not. If you have no prior experience with GNU, be prepared to invest some learning time.

MicroCross has a product that makes it easier to use the GNU compiler -- the Visual X-Tools IDE -- which is a full-featured IDE for the GNU compiler and linker. This product is not only for the novice GNU user, it is also a professional code editor (based on SlickEdit). Seehau can be integrated into Visual X-Tools.
