I just built my non-rtems cortex-m3 app with the latest arm-rtem4.10-* 
toolchain from yum with no errors. I don't have a way to test it right 
now but at least it builds with no errors. The only arm/cortex-m3 
options I am using are:
-mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb
(I suspect -mthumb is redundant since cortex-m3 only run thumb-2 code.)

My application uses ST Micros's stm32 thumb-2 startup and vector init 
assembly code. Otherwise it is just c code.

I usually build this with codesourcery lite arm-none-eabi-* tool chain.

Does this indicate that the rtems toolchain is OK or is runtime 
verification needed too?
