If you mean adding support to the same binary toolchain package: I don't
think that will work. Multilib requires similar systems, it's probably
not possible to mix linux+libphobos and baremetal builds.

But we could of course provide additional ARM-bare-metal toolchain
binaries.

Not yet. Maybe I'll publish them this weekend (I need to write some
documentation first)
