The GCC team recently (a couple of months ago) put the ARM portions of
the compiler into ther 'ports' section. TBH, I don't really
understand the ramifications of this change. Ther has been some
unfounded and untrue speculation that ARM has been 'dropped' from the
compiler.
You might have better luck asking about this on either the linux-arm
list or on one of the gcc lists.
Cheers.
