Whoops! My reply didn't go to the list initially...

Agreed!

I'm building "arm-none-eabi" so I guess we could settle on 
"${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-arm-none-eabi-toolchain"? The abreviations are 
not immediately clear and, to the casual user, I'd say clarity is important.

The names of the packages are currently 
"${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-{binutils,newlib,gcc}-arm-none-eabi". Is this 
OK with you?

I'll do a pull request for binutils once we agree on package naming 
convention and you can then tell me if you'd like something changed.

I thought about using crosstool-ng but in the end decided to go with 
something that, for me, is simpler: have all the build logic in PKGBUILD.
