it's never quite as simple as one would like:-) clang/llvm can do the
job of generating arm code, but you need to use gnu ld since that's an
elf linker unlike the darwin native linker. You also need access to
the libraries+header files for the target system - I get these from
the system image I run on my pis. It's not as slick as crosstools, but
I couldn't crosstools past the dependency on glibc so I gave up and
rolled my own.

Cheers, Cos.
