So this is fine for the trunk. Heh, I was about to suggest just deleting the whole section, too. I think nowadays most people get native GCC from their OS distro and cross toolchains for embedded targets from their hardware vendor or consortium (e.g., Linaro). And, well, there's Google if you need help finding a GCC for your target.... That said, I think removing broken or unuseful links from the documentation qualifies as an "obvious" fix, if folks think the remaining information in the section is actually useful. -Sandra
