Thank you all!

If modifying the tool chain is the easiest way, I want to try it.
But I definitely want to avoid creating the tool chain from "bare metal".
I still prefer to reuse the existing tool chain like gcc
with minimal modification.

Could you give me some guidance how to create a custom tool chain, which
part I need to modify?
I am not familiar with gcc. So if I have to modify gcc, where can I get
more information or documentation?

Thanks a lot!!
