* Package name    : gcc-arm
  Version         : 4.4.2
  Upstream Author : Numerous (see gcc-4.4-source package)

  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : The GNU C Compiler (cross-compiler for ARM targets)

This is the GNU C compiler, a fairly portable optimizing compiler
which supports multiple languages.
 
This package includes support for C and C++ on arm-none-eabi targets.

---

This package will be built using the gcc-4.4-source package, in a
manner analogous to what is done for gcc-avr.

It will Build-Depend on newlib-arm so as to be able to build the C++
compiler. This makes a loop-Build-Dependency, but as newlib-arm will
be an Arch-independent package it shouldn't pose a bootstrap problem.
