The arm-none-eabi will give you stuff for bare-metal applications, and the
arm-linux-eabi (or arm-linux-gnueabi) will give you stuff for linux. For FreeBSD now,
from what I've read there is no arm-freebsd-eabi; I tried that when I built GCC 4.4.1
and it wouldn't accept it.
What I've build is arm-unknown-freebsd, although the "unknown" part could
be ommited. Please bear with me while I look for the URL I found the naming
conventions...
