[Martin Galvan]

Hi Sebastian! Thanks for your answer. There are a couple of things I
still don't get :)

Is this file meant to help the scripts download the tool sources
automatically (like RSB does), or does it just point to local
directories where I'm supposed to place them? If it downloads them
automatically, should I replace 'cvs' by 'git' for e.g. gdb?

So I should manually build a cross-gcc from the gcc trunk? I think
that's past 5.2, will RTEMS build ok with that?

Also, should I apply the patch you posted here:

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-09/msg00019.html

?

How can I test that? Should I build the realview_pbx_a9 BSP and run a
sample (e.g. ticker) on the latest Qemu?

Where does the /git-rtems-testing/gcc/install-git directory? I didn't
see an 'install-git' dir inside rtems-testing/gcc. Is it created after
doing make install on rtems-testing?

Thanks a lot.
