Are you coding for the Linux system itself or an embedded target?

You'll be most likely using a variant of GCC either way.

What specific questions do you have?

Your request still covers a huge area, Linux kernel, driver, system, network and application programming just to name a few, therefore I cannot provide specific advise.

As far as using the Linux platform for the programming of embedded targets, I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific, AVR, PIC, MSP430, ARM, etc....

Hope the links and book recommendation help.
