Get a precompiled toolchain

• Solution that most people choose, because it is the simplest and most convenient solution

• First, determine what toolchain you need: CPU, endianism, C library, component versions, ABI, soft float or hard float, etc.

• Many toolchains are freely available pre-compiled on the Web

• • Codesourcery, http://www.codesourcery.com, is a reference in that area, but they only provide glibc toolchains.
  • Free-Electrons provides uClibc toolchains, http://free-electrons.com/community/tools/uclibc
