It would take some work to make the UNIX target work such that all 
embedded features
were there.  Essentially you can't use the native C library at all and 
have to use system
calls for IO and bind that to RTEMS C library.  This hasn't been worth 
the effort for anyone
because of the next paragraph.

To test what you are doing there is a much easier solution.  Simply use 
the target
sparc-rtems, mips-rtems, or powerpc-rtems and use either the erc32, jmr3904,
or psim simulator BSP.  This gives you a simulated piece of target 
hardware with
a clock tick and a console device.  It is enough to do a lot of 
testing.  And these
all are easy to setup.
