I'd love to have a tool for this which used either GCC or LLVM. I 
tried compiling for arm-none-eabi a while ago, and you could get 
it working, but it was a bit of a pain getting all of the right 
tools in place for it. I'd love to be able to juts type a command 
and have it all just work. I'd really love to have something 
which generated a DUB config which would cross compile.
