I can testify that it works just fine. It is gnu gcc/g++ from Mentor, and is free. I've been using it for 6 months. Firmware development has never been easier with these Cortex-M3 and M4 chips, along with free tools like Codesourcery Lite from Mentor. Where else can you get 256 kbytes of 32 bit program code space, 10 or 15 peripherals, for $4 - $5 ? And they run at 50 MHz to 200 Mhz. And there are about 6 vendors who are all beating themselves silly on price. This is the sweet spot for embedded work.
