Do you have any idea how close GCC 3.1 is?  ;-) but see below.

We're interested in the Coldfire 5307.  I'm talking with Bill Butler 
about the version he has running (presumably against a recent snapshot).

It appears then that we have two possible approaches: 1) help with the
GCC 3.x work on RTEMS; or 2) roll back to a snapshot that builds with GCC
2.8.1 so we can get GNAT working.  Since we are still in the evaluation
stage on RTEMS we'll have to go with 2.8.1 for now.  Does the latest
snapshot build with GCC 2.8.1?  If not, how far back do we need to go to
find a snapshot that does?
