Yes this is the plan.

Removing all the external exec is a complex problem to solve, for example to
remove addr2lin we need to add libdwarf to the rtemstoolkit and that is not in
the planned work for this GSoC.

Once these patches have been pushed to master I will look for solutions to get
what we have working on all platforms, for example removing the dos2unix command.

I am not sure yet. Once you are happy with the changes I have made I was going
to take the rtems-tester patches and update them.

For example I have side stepped the issue of detected a coverage version of qemu
or having a coverage enable flag by creating leon3-qemu-cov as a BSP and if that
is used with RTEMS tester it expects a coverage qemu to be available.

I am not sure, Joel? :)
