We should considering doing this as we have the basic infrastructure, we just
need to link it together to make it happen.

We build the tools using the RSB, we build RTEMS and then we run rtems-test on
tier 1 BSPs and post the results to build at rtems.org?

we add a new recipe to the RSB, test the tools and then migrate to it if there
are no regressions.
