You participated in some of the discussion:
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/cdt-dev/msg33655.html
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/cdt-dev/msg34044.html
https://github.com/eclipse-cdt/cdt-new-managedbuild-prototype

Seeing as William Riley from Renesas was active in it and now Mark from Renesas writes

that’s probably what happened.

From Indel, no to both. And in fact, I would be interested in the answer as well, because of the recent interest in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72965 where reviewing a patch to the internal builder would be involved.

Not sure what you mean by that.

> 3) Does anyone use (or knows someone who uses) the toolchain editor (project properties->C/C++ build->toolchain editor)?

We don’t, and if I remember correctly, deeming it unsuitable was one of the reasons why we built a system of switching between different toolchains (different versions of GCC for different targets, and now also Clang) on top of what is a single toolchain to CDT/MBS. One of those early decisions that I would want to revisit if we were to start afresh.
