I see no problem with the different name. If Ralf thinks that upstream
GCC suggests an explicit naming scheme I dont see harm here. Maybe it
even has the benefit that the RTEMS ARM users really see that the
toolset flavour has changed.

Chris: do you have explicit reasons for your wish to stay with the
rtems4.11/arm/ path?

Thomas.
