This toolchain is derived from the GNU ARM toolchain http://www.gnuarm.com.

SHC made changes to build a special version for the Philips BlueBird chip.

These changes mainly contain:
	Modification of the gcc multilib configuration in order to build for
	ARM, THUMB, ARM-Interworking and THUMB-Interworking.

	The newlib configuration was changed to get get a memory and code
	optimized version suitable for our target system.

If you want, or must, build the toolchain on your own:
1.	Simply execute the build-arm-bb-tools-x.x.x.sh script in the buildtree directory.
	This script, if you leave it unchanged, will build an install the toolchain in
	/usr/local on your system. Therefore it must be run as root.

2.	The toolchain is build with an internal version appendix,
	but should be referred to as 'arm-bb-tools'.
	Therefore you must rename the created directory
	(i.e. 'arm-bb-tools-4.1.0-001') to 'arm-bb-tools' or create
	a symlink to the created directory named 'arm-bb-tools'.

SHC is free to offer a binary distribution of this toolchain.

If you have downloaded the binary distribution of this toolchain:
1.	Decompress the file in /usr/local.
2.	Add this location ('bin' subdirectory) to your PATH environment
	variable (i.e. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm-bb-tools/bin) and you
	are ready to go.
