Several months ago, I used this script 
(https://github.com/JinShil/native-gdc/blob/master/native-gdc.sh) 
to build a native GDC compiler.  I then used that compiler by way 
of this script 
(https://github.com/JinShil/arm-none-eabi-gdc/blob/master/arm-none-eabi-gdc.sh) to build an arm-none-eabi cross-compiler from head.

I then used that cross-compiler to build this ARM Cortex-M 
project (https://github.com/JinShil/stm32f42_discovery_demo). 
Everything worked fine.

I don't know if that helps, but that's my experience for whatever 
it's worth.
