You can find any old Eclipse howto that walks through setting up some form of a GCC toolchain in it. All the various tools are going to be named similar from toolchain to toolchain. The important part is knowing what settings to use with each tool ( compiler / linker etc ). The best thing here is to get a book on GCC( there are a few free online, findable with google ), and start reading. I know we al get impatient and do not want to invest a huge amount of time into something like this. However, you really need to know this information, and once learned it will apply to any GCC based compiler.
If you are going the cross compile route you may want to consider using a linaro toolchain. This should simplify setup considerably. Then later as you understand moreyou can either make adjustments to this toolchain, or switch out completely without too much effort. As for the Eclipse "debate". There really is none. I like the IDE a lot ( as in how it looks, configurability etc ), but i refuse to use anything JRE related. That is personal, and I do not expect / require anyone else to agree / understand. Eclipse certainly is a top notch IDE.
