   The most recent version of arm-none-eabi-gcc in my distribution of   
   choice (msys2) is 13.3.0.   
   I am too lazy to compile arm-none-eabi-gcc from source. Would rather   
   wait.   
   I suppose, David is like me in that regard, except that he probably   
   uses even more conservative distribution.
