To expand on why I said that. For most of its history, RTEMS had few
direct dependencies on a C Library. The addition of SMP saw the beginning
of a tighter integration of newlib and RTEMS.

When schedsim was developed, only the affinity and a couple of other things
required work arounds with glibc. Now that we are using more from newlib
that originated in FreeBSD such as the time structures.

Building a native gcc with newlib at least opens the door to having the
same .h files.  Beyond that, it is logically building the core of RTEMS
as a Linux user space application. The "port" is just sufficient to make
the RTEMS code think it is context switching something.

But project ideas need to be on the wiki.
