The following are the expected use cases for developing Linux applications and libraries with the ARM Compiler toolchain and GNU libraries:
building a standalone Linux application with the ARM Compiler toolchain
building static and shared libraries with the ARM Compiler toolchain, and linking these to an application built with the ARM Compiler toolchain
building a static or shared library with the ARM Compiler toolchain, and linking this to an application built with the GNU toolchain
migrating an existing Linux application build using the ARM Compiler toolchain, retaining explicit search paths on the command line
migrating an existing Linux application build using the ARM Compiler toolchain, using a standard configuration of system search paths and libraries
using armcc and armlink as drop-in replacements for GCC and GNU ld using command-line translation.
