ARM toolchain recommendation

[Allen Curtis <acurtis@onz.com>]

I am starting a new project using the TI OMAP 5910 processor. This 
seemed like a good opportunity to use some new technology so I went to 
the Emdebian site. I was very surprised to see that the toolchain was 
very old. (2.95.2 if I remember correctly) Is there a reason for this? 
I have actually spent quite a bit of time building and testing various 
toolchain versions. So far the best choice, as in it compiles u-boot 
and the kernel, is 2.95.3 with an older glibc. (using the cross 
compiler build package by Dan Kegel) However you can not build the 2.6 
kernels with GCC versions older than 3.x. The 2.6 ARM kernels like GCC 
versions >= 3.3.

What are your toolchain recommendations for ARM?

TIA
