 A compiler for ARM CPUs is a bit a mixed bag. Partially, because ARMs cover a very wide range of environments, from 8-pin primitive MCUs running '[[bare metal]]' applications to full fledged PCs with operating systems. A compiler for ARM CPUs is a bit a mixed bag.

-Another point of confusion is the multitude of toolchains and IDEs available. For example, there are at least four compiler flavours based on gcc, all doing the basically same thing, but in subtele different ways (like requiring different flags).+Another point of confusion is the multitude of toolchains and IDEs available.
