please review tool versions was [Fwd: Re: Anyone using RTEMS on MPC8260ADS]

[Joel Sherrill]

My wife is having surgery today so I think the
fastest way to get a review is to send it here.

My first inclination is that binutils can be updated
to 2.12 w/o patches or 2.11.2 with RTEMS patches.
I would have to look at the specifics with this.
Look at the "LATEST*" links at 

ftp://ftp.oarcorp.com/pub/rtems/snapshots/c_tools

So how about the following combination:

autoconf-rtems.2.52.0.src.rpm

automake-rtems-1.5.0.src.rpm

binutils-2.10.tar.gz  with  binutils-2.10-rtems-20001107.diff

gcc-everything-2.95.3.tar.gz with  gcc-2.95.3.-rtems-20010904.diff

gdb-5.0.tar.gz  with gdb-5.0.rtems-20020102.diff

newlib-1.9.0.tar.gz with newlib-1.9.0-rtems-20010622.diff

rtems-ss-20020301.tar.gz



Any chance of the above being the right collection of stuff?  I'm trying
to 
build for the mpc8260ads BSP.
