RTEMS is an embedded real-time OS.  It would be run instead of GNU/Linux
for certain types of applications.  You link your application with RTEMS
and run it directly on target hardware.

RTEMS includes "board support packages" for some simulators
included in gdb -- PowerPC, MIPS, and SPARC.

You can also run it in a virtualized PC environment like Bochs or
Qemu.

Also you should be using a released version like 4.6.2.
