Research direction

Start by investigating how the VS Code Flatpak sandbox exposes host executables, using the reported /usr/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc path and the integrated build workflow as entry points. Done means the cross compiler and related tools installed on the host can be found and used from VS Code.

Description

I realize that this is a simple question, but with a not so simple answer.

Since a few weeks I'm using the vscode flatpak. I need to build my software with a cross compiler, mostly arm-none-eabi-gcc. It is installed on my system, but from with vscode it cannot be found. So, my question:
How can I enable /usr/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc and friends from vscode?
