[ECOS] eCos arm-eabi GNU tools - release 4.6.3-20120623

[John Dallaway <john@dallaway.org.uk>]

The arm-eabi 4.6.3-20120623 GNU tools have been in use by many in the
eCos community for some time and are now recommended for all eCos
developers working with ARM hardware. These tools offer significantly
improved code generation relative to the previous arm-eabi tools and
incorporate support for Cortex-M4 SIMD and FPU instructions. Developers
may install these tools using the eCos installer by first moving any
existing arm-eabi tools located at gnutools/arm-eabi/ to another
location and then invoking the eCos installer specifying the "-t" switch
on the command line as described at:

  http://ecos.sourceware.org/getstart.html

Alternatively, the tool tarballs may be downloaded from the eCos ftp
site directly. They are located under the "gnutools" directory:

> Cygwin-hosted:
> gnutools/cygwin/ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120623.cygwin.tar.bz2
>
> Linux-hosted:
> gnutools/i386linux/ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120623.i386linux.tar.bz2

Please use a mirror site in your own geographical region to access these
files. Sites which mirror the eCos ftp area are listed at:

Thank you to all those who helped with testing of the new tools.
