I'll revert the AEB to use arm-elf-gcc.

That was back in October, the toolchain has been respun several times
since then. This is something to look at once the checkins are
complete and we have moved on to testing.
Also note that there are several ARM targets which completely fail to
build at the moment because of bitrot. And no doubt some number of
non-ARM targets will fail to build. Again, this should be looked at
after the checkins.
