Thanks for the clarification.

I did wonder about the right option, and looked at other targets,
but couldn't figure out the right choice.
Something like arm-*-uclinuxfdpiceabi is probably the right choice

I think it does not prevent from getting feedback on the rest of the series.

Thanks for your prompt feedback!
