+1 It should be easy to bump to a later snapshot.  Some of the trouble
I have was some of the RSB and rtems-tools waf issues you fixed where
(from my perspective) it would just randomly die.

And it does nicely. If someone builds sparc tools today, they are in
place.

Only issue is that the sparc-rtems4.11-run command does not
take a -leon2 or -leon3 argument. You have to use sis or gdb
to get access to them. But the rtems-tester and sim-scripts
know how to do that.

I added all the patches. It is now done. :)
