Sourcery CodeBench toolchains usually work fine. Could you point to
specific problems with them, i.e which package fails to build, with
which version of the Sourcery CodeBench? Most likely, if your
application fails to build with a Sourcery CodeBench toolchain, it's
because your application doesn't #include the right header files.

The Linaro toolchains are built for ARMv7, so the C library they
contain will only work on ARMv7+ processors.

Best regards,

Thomas
