I am glad to see that you are still well and working at RTEMS after so many years.

Several decades ago, when I was young and I have discovered RTEMS by chance, I have learned many useful things from its documentation, source code and tooling scripts. IIRC, I have also got some very helpful e-mail responses from you, to some of my newbie questions.

So I have always been grateful for your RTEMS work.

One of the useful things that I have learned then from the RTEMS scripts was precisely how to build my own customized toolset with binutils/gcc/gdb and so on, for cross-development for an embedded system target.

I have always done this, instead of attempting to use one of the pre-built but less suited for my purposes toolsets that can be found in various places, and it has always helped me a lot.
