When I build an example project from example-v2, that is what the
output looks like, so I guess it was the way you meant:

arm-rtems4.11-gcc --pipe
-B/home/oclarocque/development/rtems/4.11/arm-rtems4.11/stm32f4/lib/
-specs bsp_specs -qrtems   -Wall  -O2 -g    -march=armv7-m -mthumb
  -c   -o o-optimize/test.o test.c

Does your --joel switch is equivalent to the -specs switch?

What about -brtems versus -qrtems?
