It depends if you need SMP or not. I think SMP needs a release branch. 
Sebastian knows the specifics. I am waiting for the 4.8 branch release 
to happen.

Interesting and thanks for using the rtems-test command. There is a 
patch about for the SPARC simulator to fix the output. I am not sure if 
this is included in the gdb build. What is the error ? The log should 
list the details of the tests that are in error. I should mention the 
number of concurrent tests running can effect the results. It is 
typically safe to have a test per core and you can go higher but there 
may be failures.

FYI I have upgraded to FreeBSD 10.0 and I am looking into the gdb with 
python issue and it does not appear to be an easy fix.
