It's actually true for the ARM as well if you have the right flavour of GCC,
though I think the remark was originally intended for Intel only.

The version number of GCC and the binary format it produces aren't directly
related. If you have gcc 2.7.x the chances are it is configured for a.out but
ELF versions also exist. Similarly you can use the newer compilers for both
a.out and ELF if you so desire.
The actual business of building a compiler has been covered here before and
several people now have notes on their web pages. Check the mailing list
archives.
