gcc biuld, b-gcc/gcc/include-fixed/limits.h overides newlib-rtems limits.h

[Hill, Jeff]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your help.

We do need a later gcc version as we have run into some g++ issues with the older 4.1 source from Altera. The source builder is new for us, but we still managed to get the nios2 binutils, gcc compiler, and newlib to build yesterday and we are pleased with that. We had to move the newlib version back and patch it for nios2 because our corporate firewall blocks all cvs pserver traffic (including client initiated). We also hit some issues building gdb due to not having the ncurses developer package installed; it would appear that the initial sb-check detects missing tools but not missing libraries and or headers.

Thanks again,

Jeff
