                 this tool
                 produces executable code that runs on the target device.
+                Only one cross-canadian compiler is produced per architecture
+                since they can be targeted at different processor optimizations
+                using configurations passed to the compiler through the
+                compile commands.
+                This saves the need to have multiple compilers present and
+                hence reduces the size of the toolchains.
