Help explain diff between gcc ARM compilers shipping with Momentics 4.7.0  
Can anyone point me to the documentation (online or print) that explains the difference between the different GCC 
compilers for ARM shipped with Momentics 4.7.0

based on file size it looks like Momentics installs only 2 different arm compilers, but each has 4 copies.
What's with that? why?

I generated the list below using ls and grep command

hholtmann@C-00000046 MSYS /c/QNX650/host/win32/x86/usr/bin
$ ls -l | grep -i arm | grep -i gcc

That¹s been an issue with Windows over the years. To get around weak
symbolic link support, we made copies instead. Different tools in the
ecosystem expect different names for the compilers.

But, yes, there are two ARM compilers. One for ARMv7 and one for ARMv6
(which was just named arm at the time).

HTH, Doug.
