[chbot] Cruising aliexpress again!!

[Stephen Irons]

If you are happy to waste a few minutes on following circular link chains,
then registering with a mailinator email address, you can download
Linux-hosted cross-gcc tools for bare metal ARM processors from Mentor
Graphics. They bought codesourcery, and try to push their supported tools,
but still do provide a free download link.

Unfortunately, they have hidden it quite well, but I tracked down the tools
in July. I think it is a tar.gz download, but installs anywhere.
