@Richard Cook First thing one needs to understand. Just because the hardware is a beaglebone, does not mean it needs anything special in regards to toolchain's. As long as the tools have an ABI compatible binary, we're fine. The ABI it's self we do not really need to worry about. It's already in place. Which means any book on the GNU compiler collection( gcc ) would be suitable for such a purpose. This one is a bit out of date, but it's free !

In fact, I probably know more about gcc, and I'm no expert. His book Exploring Beaglebone is a fine book, but does not cover toolchains in detail.
