I agree that this is convenient in the short term to facilitate
toolchain development.  I hope the long term plan includes mirroring
files not hosted on rtems.org.

I hope I don't need too much hand holding on this.

This morning I've been parsing this configuration:

http://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder/tree/rtems/config/tools/rtems-gcc-4.8.2-newlib-2.1.0-1.cfg

Which has led me to:

http://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder/tree/source-builder/config/gcc-4.8-1.cfg

http://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder/tree/source-builder/config/gcc-common-1.cfg

>From which I extract the following:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.8.2/gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2

ftp://sourceware.org/pub/newlib/newlib-2.1.0.tar.gz

The newlib link appears to be broken at the moment, but I found a mirror.

ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/newlib/newlib-2.1.0.tar.gz

The only patch referenced is

http://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools/plain/tools/4.11/newlib/newlib-sys-signal-20130532.diff

I find no mention of gcc-4.8.2-rtems4.11-20140210.diff which is present in

http://www.rtems.org/ftp/pub/rtems/SOURCES/4.11/

So my plan would be to fetch gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2 and newlib-2.1.0.tar.gz.
 I would apply the patches gcc-4.8.2-rtems4.11-20140210.diff and
newlib-sys-signal-20130532.diff.

Does this seem workable?
