Check the license! It is not really fair! Don't use this toolchain.
Oops, I hadn't read the license (nor used the software). The licensing restrictions are rather agressive towards all Open Source software. Read especially section 3.2. The EULA is here:

IANAL, but the way I understand it, you can't link against their libraries and still distribute your code under an Open Source license, or distribute your binaries under a license that requires that the software be offered at no charge. My understanding may be flawed, so read the EULA yourself before deciding whether the toolchain is for you.
Sorry for suggesting Microsoft's "free" toolchain. I didn't know any better.
Cheers,
Ulrik
