I do not have any objections. But unless you supply a solution for other compilers, you need to add the requirement TOOL_GCC to nutarch_cm3_stm32f_can1 and nutarch_cm3_stm32f_can2 in stm32dev.nut.

Good question. The compiler.h part is a big mess. And like with any pile of waste, people tend to put their waste on top of it (me included). ;-)

For the time being I'd suggest to keep it locally. Restructuring compiler.h is on top of my list. I just cleaned up dev/board.h and broke a few things, which I have to fix first.

Regards,

Harald
