My knowledge of
              toolchain implementations is very limited.  It never
              crossed my mind that the ARM toolchain could be a GCC
              compiler.
              
              I only know that Due and Zero are both ARM based Arduino
              boards. They do not use the same toolchain as the "avr
              based" products. (read it is a different folder with
              different files)
              Now I think of it.
              The galileo is an arduino board based on intel. Again has
              its own toolchain.
              
              Arduino IDE has completely opened-up for other platforms.
              For instance the ESP8266 processor boards work with
              arduino IDE. Again a different toolchain.
              
              I do not know whether these toolchains are all gcc based
              toolchains or not. I do know that arduino IDE requirement
              for a toolchain is basically "have a command line
              interface". The only limitation I see for gcc toolchains
              (whatever that may be) is in the consistency of the output
              for parsing reasons. Part of the parsing (size of the
              sketch) is already in the platform.txt file.
              
              Please note that all this is supported by the arduino
              eclipse plugin based on CDT.
              
              
              PS Arduino and microsoft have announced to be
              collaborating. I expect a board using the visual studio
              toolchain to arrive one day.

                  Do you mean the ARM compiler? I only saw the GCC
                  compiler for ARM in the metadata.

                Your assumption "For Arduino, everything is gcc
                  based." is false.
                  Arduino supports arm as well. since 1.5.0 basically
                  any toolchain is supported.

                    Hey gang,
                    
                    
                    I’ve spent the last couple of days with my head
                      in Qt-land and figuring out how to do a build
                      system similar to the Arduino one I’ve done. That
                      has led me to the next layer of though on the new
                      build model. Feel free to have a read and please
                      provide feedback. I’m getting itchy to start
                      adding this stuff to cdt.core.
