I'd like to use our toolchain on my N800 and Cortex-M3 boards as well.
 The 'do no harm' is at the source level - you should be able to take
the Linaro GCC tarball and build a compiler for your particular
situation that is as good as and probably more correct than the FSF
GCC.  Unfortunately we can't make one libgcc that covers all ARM
products as some like the Cortex-M series are Thumb-2 only, some like
the Cortex-M0 are Thumb-1 only, and some (very old ones) are ARM only.
 Then you add the floating point options into the mix.

It would be nice to ship multiple builds of libgcc with the cross
compiler but that's currently out of scope.
