I recently did a project on the STM32F0-Discovery board.
After having used a nice arm-none-eabi-*/openocd toolchain I wonder what
is needed to build a cross-gdc.
As these devices are really short on Flash and RAM I would've only
translated the peripheral headers
without using any runtime.
Not sure though if you can get classes without full typeinfos support.
