I remember writing code for Psion (later Symbian) Epoc32 in the late 90s and early thousands. It was a big deal that Cygnus had done the work to make gcc support ARM because the vendor compiler was (IIRC) some weird combiniation of expensive and not very good. We now assume ARM as being a default necessary platform to support, 20 years ago it really wasn’t clear
