As a quick fix for you, feel free to download a ready-to-use distribution of the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse from Version 4.10.0 of the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse are a distribution built on Eclipse 2021-03, so you will get the latest in here as well.
The GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain is a ready-to-use, open-source suite of tools for C, C++ and assembly programming. The GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain targets the 32-bit Arm Cortex-A, Arm Cortex-M, and Arm Cortex-R processor families. The GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain includes the GNU Compiler (GCC) and is available free of charge directly from Arm for embedded software development on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X operating systems.

GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain 2020-q2-preview
This is a preview release for M-profile Vector Extension (MVE) and
Custom Datapath Extension (CDE) features, and is not a production release.
For a production quality toolchain, use the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain
9-2020-q2-update release.
This release includes bare metal pre-built binaries for AArch32 EABI targets,
which can be hosted on:
* Windows 10 or later on 32/64-bit architecture
* Linux
- on AArch64 (RHEL 7, Ubuntu 14.04 or later)
- on x86_64 (RHEL 7, Ubuntu 16.04 or later)
* Mac OS X 10.14 or later on 64-bit architecture
For Windows, the binaries are provided with an installer and as a zip file.
For Linux, the binaries are provided as tarball files.
For Mac OS X, the binaries are provided as tarball and pkg files.
The release also contains source code package (together with build scripts and
instructions to setup the build environment), which is composed of:

Note that some or all of the following prerequisites are downloaded when
building from source:
* EnvVarUpdate NSIS script :
* expat 2.1.1 :
-2.1.1.tar.bz2
* gmp 6.1.0 :
-6.1.0.tar.bz2
* isl 0.18 :

* python 2.7.7 :
-2.7.7.msi
* zlib 1.2.8 :
-1.2.8.tar.gz
Features:
* All GCC 10.1 features
Tests:
* Targets:
+ Variety of Cortex-M0/M0+/M3/M4/M7/A9 boards
+ Qemu
+ Arm Fast Models
Notable changes in 2020-q2-preview release:
* Added support for:
+ M-profile Vector Extension (MVE) assembler and intrinsics
+ Custom Datapath Extension (CDE)
+ Cortex-M55
Known issues:
* Doing IPA on CMSE generates a linker error:
The linker will error out when resulting object file contains a symbol for
the clone function with the __acle_se prefix that has a non-local binding.
Issue occurs when compiling binaries for M-profile Secure Extensions where
the compiler may decide to clone a function with the cmse_nonsecure_entry
attribute.
Although cloning nonsecure entry functions is legal, as long as the clone
is only used inside the secure application, the clone function itself should
not be seen as a secure entry point and so it should not have the __acle_se
prefix.
A possible workaround for this is to add a 'noclone' attribute to
functions with the 'cmse_nonsecure_entry'. This will prevent GCC from cloning
such functions.
* Load or Store of __fp16 type together with MVE might generate invalid code:
If you use __fp16 type together with MVE enabled, then when the compiler needs
to generate an instruction to load a Floating-point Extension register
(S register) from memory or an instruction to store a Floating-point Extension
register (S register) to memory, then the compiler generates the wrong assembly
instruction.
The wrong assembly instruction is generated by the front-end for any
optimization other than -O0. The wrong instruction causes an error during
assembly, for example:
"Error: instruction does not support writeback - `vstr.16 s15,[r0]!'"
"Error: instruction does not support writeback - `vldr.16 s15,[r0]!'"
The workaround is to use the -O0 command line option to generate the correct
instruction when loading or storing of __fp16 type together with MVE.
* Uncompressing the Windows zip file requests permission to overwrite file:
When you decompress the windows zip file,
gcc-arm-none-eabi-10-2020-q2-preview-win32.zip, the decompression requests
permission to overwrite the file frame-apply.html. This is because the GDB documentation
within the folder share/doc/gcc-arm-none-eabi/html/gdb contains files that are named
frame-apply.html and Frame-Apply.html, which are treated as identical names on
a Windows host.
You can choose to overwrite the file frame-apply.html with Frame-Apply.html. If you
decompress the zip file using a command-line tool, you can use a command-line option to
automatically overwrite the file, for example by using the -y command-line option with 7zip.
* Readme.txt links to version 9.3 of the GCC online docs:
Readme.txt contains the following links to version 9.3 of the GCC online docs:
-9.3.0/gcc/ARM-Options.html#index-mcpu-2
-9.3.0/gcc/ARM-Options.html#index-mfloat-abi
The correct links to version 10.1 of the GCC online docs are:
-10.1.0/gcc/ARM-Options.html#index-mcpu-2
-10.1.0/gcc/ARM-Options.html#index-mfloat-abi
