Hmm. Forward motion is good, but I seem to have gone too far forward  
and wound up in a bog.

After a lot of updating and unpacking, I find I can't compile gcc  
4.3.0 because it needs mpfr and gmp. I have the latest versions of  
these (2.3.1 and 4.2.2) and they build, but they default to 64-bit (- 
m64 -mtune=k8). The gcc build doesn't like this:

configure:4543: checking for correct version of mpfr.h
configure:4574: /Developer/usr/bin/cc -o conftest -g -O2     
conftest.c  -lmpfr -lgmp >&5
ld: warning in /usr/local/lib/libmpfr.dylib, file is not of required  
architecture
ld: warning in /usr/local/lib/libgmp.dylib, file is not of required  
architecture

If I try building gmp with ABI=32 the build fails with a lot of:

fib_table.c:61: warning: integer constant is too large for 'long' type

A bit of Googling reveals that Apples gcc is not popular with the gmp/ 
mpfr folks because Apple do bad things, etc, etc, so it doesn't look  
hopeful.

I don't think I'm going to be able to do anything with RTEMS 4.9. I  
may have to do what I can with RTEMS 4.8.
