 I suggest you also check out the rtems-libbsd repo. It is the port of the
 FreeBSD kernel and drivers to run on RTEMS.

 > How can I help ?

 You need to build an RTEMS X86_64 tool chain and then look at score
 structure to see if the i386 can be used or a new x86_64 arch is added.

 > I'd really like to try and port the above listed Linux drivers

 We do not accept GPL licensed code into RTEMS. This is why RTEMS focuses
 on the FreeBSD. You should be able to find the equivalent support.

 RTEMS uses newlib for libc the libstdc++ is from g++. I would say this is
 already covered.

 complete, I'd have my ideal operating system .

 booting working with RTEMS ?

 No, you would need to add the low level support to do this.

 No, this is the task.
