Btw, while I see very sporadical testresults for arm-rtems and older results
for v850 and sparc and powerpc-rtems testresult posting on gcc-testresults
no such results exist for i386-rtems in 2012 which means it's current status
is in the dark.

If you want a port to be live show that it is live by posting regular
testresults
to gcc-testresults.

Thanks,
