Talk about a grave dig!  *grabs shovel*

It's less than a year so they'd probably still make them if a few other folks pitched in a sizable order. Seems unlikely though, honestly I ponder what they were ever thinking by releasing these in DIP packages, must be that a large customer asked for them.

And eventhough it's 6 years late:

I seriously don't understand why anyone would use a crippled commercial compiler when there is GCC with full support for all ARM versions that matter (if not all).

GCC is a buggy steaming pile of horse manure, especially the newer versions are questionable if you compare them to something like LLVM. They should just rewrite it from scratch at this point.
