Running ARM or PPC RTEMS simulations on x64 hardware

[Matthew Clark]

I've successfully built/run the sparc sim (sis) test examples as described
in

https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/TBR/UserManual/Quick_Start

My target hardware is a Zedboard, Raspberry Pi2 and a basic ML405
(Virtex4), but when I try to re-create the above for the various bsps,
including supposed qemu plaftorms like qemuppc, I get all manner of errors,
such as

$powerpc-rtems4.11-run ./qemuppc/testsuites/samples/hello/hello.exe
./qemuppc/testsuites/samples/hello/hello.exe: Caught signal 11 at address
0xffc00014

I get nothing for ARM:

$arm-rtems4.11-run ./xilinx_zynq_a9_qemu/testsuites/samples/hello/hello.exe
$

though if I tried to run the hello.exe through ARM's GDB, I get a different
error:

$ arm-rtems4.11-gdb ./xilinx_zynq_a9_qemu/testsuites/samples/hello/hello.exe

This GDB was configured as "--host=x86_64-linux-gnu

(gdb) r

I don't always have access to the target hardware and I wanted to run
simple tests in a simulator environment.   Am I doing something wrong?  If
so, what?

Thanks,

Matt
