Is it possible to select an external GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain as the compiler?

[Ibex]

I found a selection option under Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings-> Toolchain Version

but this only allows to select two STM32CubeIDE internal gnu arm gcc toolchains.

It'd be nice if one could select an external path with a newer GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain.

You might want to post it in the Idea Zone. I will upvote it there.

You can change the path variable used for the compiler such that it sees the newer toolchain first, and it'll use that. Not ideal, but it does work.

This would be very good. We use an automated build server and so would like to locally build using a specific toolchain version. Currently we have to manually edit the PATH in each project we build, and this changes for every person that works on those projects, so a bit of a version control nightmare. I've created a post in the Idea Zone (didn't see one from OP).
