For the Linux kernel, you can choose this in the config menu.

That's you're choice, too...

Well, I've got 5 different ARM toolchains on my compile server now, but while
the kernel compiles with all of them, U-Boot (e.g. 1.2.0) compiles with
exactly one (2004-q3, as I mentioned). The others don't even compile or
produce binaries that won't run.
