Well, I never use it, so don't think I can be too helpful

Ehm, I don't know the arm compiler, as I said, but if names are like GNU
gcc, ld perform only linking, and in Dev-C++ is tipically invoked in
automatic by gcc, while make interpret a makefile (in Dev-C++ you should
have a Makefile.win near your project) to call appropriately gcc.

Again, don't know arm, but in GNU compiler this doesn't mean 'C++', but 'C
PreProcessor', so you need it, but not to call dirtectly, because it's
called automatically by gcc.

I think it should be arm-elf-make

It calls make clean to let make delete all outdated files of previous
compilations

Let us know if you get your compiler work. Good luck.
