Makefile & supporting patches/scripts to build a bare metal ARM EABI toolchain.
When installing somewhat older arm toolchains, for example 2009q1-161, https://sourcery.mentor.com/GNUToolchain/release830, the script won't work. It's hard configured to use MAJOR.MINOR-REVISION, which doesn't correspond to the old version style of MAJOR-REVISION.
It is not possible to install cross toolchain into directory containing space. `PREFIX=$HOME/arm-cs-tools make install-cross` This command fails because my `$HOME` variable contains `/Volumes/Data HDD/Users/username` and command.
there's an issue with gdb-2013.05/sim/arm/armsupp.c:639. I believe it should 'return result;' instead of 'return;'
MacPorts
I appreciate your effort to maintain this project, but I'm a bit disappointed you do not use MacPorts as complementary tools but favour Homebrew. MacPorts may have many problems, but...
I like home brew, but would it be possible to get around issues with dependencies by simply providing statically linked binaries?
the current version of the make file fails to successfully run make install-deps it crashes out when starting to build mpc. I tracked the problem down to the MPC_VERSION declaration...

I tried to build the just released version, and I got the following error during the patch step: ... ~/Work/NoBackup/Sourcery/arm-cs-tools-2012.03-56-4c24572-20120611/jsnyder-arm-eabi-toolchain-4c24572/gcc-4.6-2012.03 ~/Work/NoBackup/Sourcery/arm-cs-tools-2012.03-56-4c24572-20120611/jsnyder-arm-eabi-toolchain-4c24572 patching file gcc/gengtype.c Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!...
it seems that the new configure does not like the latest brew version: ... checking for the correct version of gmp.h... no configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR...
Although it seems that Mentor maintains the old download URLs, as far as I could see, the new URLs are slightly changed: https://sourcery.mentor.com/GNUToolchain/package10384/public/arm-none-eabi/arm-2012.03-56-arm-none-eabi.src.tar.bz2 https://sourcery.mentor.com/GNUToolchain/package10385/public/arm-none-eabi/arm-2012.03-56-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 Perhaps it would be necesary to...
