What do you mean?  

My goal is to be able to provide RTEMS prebuilt binaries for all *-rtems
targets.  I periodically check out and test the more full set of 
embedded targets because there seemed to be no one who reported on the
state of the cross targets at the same time.  I have simulators set
up for all the targets that have them in gdb and can run the GCC
test suites on many of them.  

I started doing this back during the summer and actually reported
problems
from running the test suite on a number of targets.  From what I can
tell,
very few of the problems I have reported have been fixed.  I can fix
some
problems but most of these are beyond me.

I will repeat this on the current CVS if it will encourage someone
to fix things. :)
