 Need for RTEMS-Specific Cross-Compiler
 --------------------------------------------
-  New users are often confused as to why they can't use their distribution's cross-compiler for their target on rtems, e.g.,the riscv64-linux-gnu or the arm-none-eabi-gcc. Below mentioned are some of the reasons for using the RTEMS cross-compiler.
 
- ``Correct configuration of newlib`` -
-    Newlib is a C standard library implementation intended for use on embedded systems. Most of the POSIX and libc support for RTEMS is derived from newlib. The RTEMS cross-compiler configures newlib correctly for RTEMS.

- ``Threading in GCC support libraries`` -
-    GCC support threading libraries such as ``pthread.h`` provide threading support to an application; these libraries are tailored according to RTEMS using the RTEMS cross-compiler.
-   
- ``Provide preprocessor define __rtems__`` -
-    The ``__rtems__`` preprocessor define is used to provide conditional code compilation in source files that are shared with other projects e.g. in newlib or imported code from freebsd.

- ``Multilib variants to match the BSP``-
-    RTEMS configures GCC to create separate runtime libraries for each supported instruction set, floating point unit, vector unit, word size (e.g. 32-bit and 64-bit), endianness, ABI, processor errata workarounds,and so on in the architecture. These libraries are termed multilib variants. Multilibs variants to match the BSP are set by selecting a specific set of machine options using the RTEMS cross-compiler.
