Thanks, Jiong.

Would it make sense to make this two different items? The way it
is currently marked up, the blank line will be "gone" once rendered.
OK, seperated them into two different items.
Where you "refer to the documentation", what kind of documentation
is that? ARM reference manuals, GCC's documentation,...? Being a
bit more explicit here and/or using a link would be good.
It's GCC user manual, have added the link in the updated patch.
Please review, thanks.
