The link points to launchpad.net, which shut down its gcc-arm-embedded downloads years ago (the URL now returns 503), and the tarball it names is a 2016 Q3 build (gcc 5.4). - Point to Arm GNU Toolchain Downloads, matching the link already used in bsp/nxp/imx/imx91/README.md. The old gnu-rm page covers the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain, which Arm has superseded. - Mention installing the toolchain from the distribution package manager, with Debian/Ubuntu as an example, since rtconfig.py already defaults EXEC_PATH to /usr/bin. libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib is listed because LFLAGS links with -lsupc++.

Problem
bsp/qemu-vexpress-a9/README.mdtells Linux users to download the GNU GCCtoolchain from a launchpad.net URL. Launchpad shut down its gcc-arm-embedded
downloads years ago — the URL now returns 503 — and the tarball it names is a
2016 Q3 build (gcc 5.4).
Change

Debian/Ubuntu given as one example, since
