I think it more likely to be the other way around.  I envision a 
scenario where, if you want to use the ARM core efficiently, you 
HAVE to buy their compiler.

Otherwise, for a company that exists solely to license Intellectual 
Property, it doesn't make sense to buy a compiler company.  Unless 
they figure they can make the compiler more competitive through 
other means.

I never see the optimistic side of anything.  But, Lily Tomlin had 
it right: "No matter how cynical I get, I can't keep up!".
