Hi<br>
<br>
I couldn't get gdb og gcc to build even for epiphany-elf but I did<br>
include patch that I think is all that is needed for RTEMS.<br>
<br>
I did manage to build binutils from their repo for both elf<br>
and rtems variants. <br>
<br>
At least it is a starting point. You can work with their<br>
community to get their tools built as epiphany-elf and<br>
then just change the target.</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><br>

Basically. Except you only need their repos for binutils and
gdb. We use GCC and Newlib from upstream.<br>

<div>Great, I am waiting for these patches. </div>
