Which tools to build for ARM elf?

[Sean Kelley <skelley at planetkc dot com>]

Hi,

I've recently had success building the following tools:

binutils-2.9.5.029
gcc-2.95.2
newlib-1.8.2
gdb-20000305

My target for all of these builds was : arm-elf
My host is i686 Linux.
My experience in the past has been strictly with
the ARM SDT. But now I wish to explore using the
GNU toolchain.

Here are my questions:

1) Does a target of arm-elf also include support for thumb
   code?

2) Does the gdb build include a type of ARMulator for simulating
   the arm code?  How is the code simulated?

3) Is simulation as simple as:

   arm-elf-gcc -g -o hello hello.c
   arm-elf-gdb test
   (gdb) run
   Starting program: /home/projects/Embedded/hello 
   You can't do that without a process to debug.
   (gdb) 

Many thanks for your help,

Sean
