If you want to use Debian packages (corresponding to the ARM toolchain), you should install gcc-arm-none-eabi which provides C and C++ cross-compilers for 32-bit ARM, including Cortex-R processors:
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends gcc-arm-none-eabi
The compiler command for C++ will then be arm-none-eabi-g++.
If you need the STL, you should also install libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib:
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib
armr5-none-eabi-g++ is (was) available in the Xilinx SDK; the relevant SDK nowadays would appear to be Vitis. For a container image you’d probably be best off installing it using the full unified installer archive. (I haven’t tried this so I can’t confirm that the armr5-none-eabi is included in current versions.)

Question #272826 “armr5-none-eabi-gcc compiler” : Questions : GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain
October 23, 2015 - I used the following flag to compile my code on cortex R5F. armr5 compiler is of version 4.8.4. CFLAGS_CORTEX_R5 = -static -mlittle-endian -mcpu=cortex-r5 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -fsingle-precision-constant -Wdouble-promotion Notice that I have used vfpv3-d16 option, so I should use at most 16 double precision floating point registers (d0 - d15), which is supported on this ARM core.

Whats "gcc-arm-none-eabi" toolchain ??
Gcc-arm-none-eabi is the gcc compiler toolchain for arm outside of a hosted environment. This means that it compiles bare metal code: code running without an already existing OS. ‘Normal’ gcc uses libraries from the system where its installed, so if you compile a hello world links to and uses the standard library. Gcc-arm would mean that the compiler is a cross compiler: its installed on your system but it compiles for arm. On an arm processor could run a full fledged linux environment so a gcc-arm-aarch64-linux or something like that would compile a program on your pc for that arm system running linux. Now there are meriads of arm systems not running linux which needs code to be compiled for as well. This is the place for the none-eabi variant: it does not use any system library and uses a standard interface for calling functions and other stuff. So in other words this is just the bare metal cross compiler for arm systems. And who makes these? Anyone who wants to. Gcc is an open source project and anyone could compile the toolchain. With compiling you can ‘select’ your version: do you want to build a linux-on-riscv compiler running on your pc? Definitely possible! The linux distro repos contain a couple of standard versions of gcc of which arm-none-eabi is one More on reddit.com

gcc-arm-none-eabi toolchain, my major question is, why is it made and for what problem to solve ? before toolchains existed, what were the methods used to program a chip ??
also, who makes toolchains and how are they doing it ??

It contains the compiler, linker, and other helpful utilities to make code that can be loaded onto a microcontroller. Before any of those utilities existed, you could literally flip switches on a console to set your program in memory. You had to know the hex values for all your opcodes, and how each one expected parameters to be formatted. Programs were very limited. Compilers came along (like gcc) that took slightly more readable code (like assembly or C) and automatically converted them into a binary file. Then linkers showed up to automatically connect up multiple C files and create more complex programs. At the same time, utilities like gdb and openocd showed up to help get that binary file into the memory of a microcontroller, using protocols like swd or jtag. Specifically though, arm (the company that creates the arm instruction set and cortex architecture, that chip makers like ST/Apple/etc license and use), maintains arm-none-eabi-gcc and provides it for free. It has some competition from paid compilers like Keil and IAR, but in most cases gcc is the best choice.
