The gcc may have built but something else may have gone wrong. There are 
a number of parts needed to build RTEMS.

Please note this is a release candidate so we welcome reports of issues 
found.

If this file was produced the build failed. Have you seen 
https://docs.rtems.org/rsb/#_bugs ?

Thank you.

Not that I know of. The RSB can produce reports of the current build 
configuration.

Documentation suitable for manual building would be large complex and 
difficult to maintain. The tools can change quickly and the build varies 
between the different architectures. You are most welcome to try but I 
would need to see long term support of it before I would agree to accept 
it into our repos. We are moving the REST documentation standard.

How long is it taking you?
What host machine?

The only hosts I have come across that take time are Windows cause of 
the POSIX emulation and VMs if not given enough resources.
