FYI, in the embedded world it is common to have multiple versions of different toolchains installed, and it is mandatory that they **are not** in the system PATH.

the GNU ARM Eclipse build plug-in takes a lot of efforts to manage these multiple paths, store them in different scopes (per project, per workspace, per Eclipse) and dynamically update the current path when the build starts.
