This is intended for embedded development targeting "bare metal", e.g.,
microcontrollers, which is why it is "arm-none-eabi" rather than
"arm-something-linux".  It also should be usable for systems running non-Linux
operating systems that are EABI compliant, provided that the user obtains the
appropriate headers and libraries.

The description in the SPEC doesn't say this because I kept the generic
description from the avr-binutils and arm-gp2x-linux binutils, but perhaps it
is justifiable to add a paragraph explaining that it is for embedded/bare metal
use.

I'm working on packaging gcc, gdb, and newlib, but binutils will need to be in
the package collection before I can submit them for review. (Otherwise they
would fail to build due to the binutils dependency.)
