Ugh. Dealing some of this right now. 3 full minutes to compile and flash 430kbs to a board. And then the debug tools won't use break points properly. 400kbs are system libraries I can't avoid. I'm thinking of writing a lisp compiler with some ffi and pushing it to the remote memory via tcp. Even having to write my own debugging tools I feel like I might save time.

Oh, you have a debugger you lucky sod. Currently working on a thing (approaching EOL thankfully, but still have to support and add new features until the manufacturer says "no seriously we're cutting you off") that uses a gcc cross compiler from the 90s, no gdb for me. Side channel debugging is a life skill. Oh it's crashing weirdly with no diagnostic output on the UART terminal? Rewrite a timer interrupt that's still running to print your diagnostic information when you toggle a switch. It's actually fun if there's not deadline pressure or a line down situation at a customer.
