--------------------------------+------------------
 I tried to build a toolchain using an older version of the RTEMS Source
 Builder (to be exact: [https://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-
 builder/commit/?id=cac72a2aea711f671816d7c41bb1cfe66d54ee37 cac72a2aea7]
 from 2016-08-01). This failed due to the fact that the gcc snapshot that
 should be build isn't longer available:

   ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/6-20160609/gcc-6-20160609.tar.bz2

 It seems that there are about 6 months of snapshots available but older
 ones have been deleted. That can be really annoying if you try to rebuild
 the tools for a specific RTEMS version.

 It might would be a good idea if we would copy all sources that are used
 in RSB to an RTEMS ftp server and download them from there. This is also
 true for release versions of the sources. We have no control over the
 files on a foreign server. Therefore the sources could vanish at any time.
