 This directory contains the scripts used to build RPMS for GNAT/RTEMS.
+
+The scripts are close but do not work completely right yet.  I have
+commented out the info related items in gnatnewlib.in to get the
+RPMS to build.
+
+The binutils directory should be ignored for now.  In order to
+build the toolset at all, I had to merge building binutils
+into the build of gcc, gnat, and newlib.  gdb is still built separately.
+When gnat is based off a more recent gcc version, we can go
+to the more proper method of building binutils first and
+separately.
+
+There is the more general issue that the gcc 2.8.1 RTEMS targets
+were not always the same object format that the gcc 2.95.x ones
+are.  Thus some BSPs (m68k and i386 in particular) are now ELF
+based and assume crti.o/crtn.o is installed.  The gcc 2.8.1
+configurations were not ELF and thus it is likely that programs
+will not link on certain configurations.
+
+Another more general issue is that GNAT gdb support is at 
+4.17 while remote debugging of RTEMS applications via
+TCP/IP is in 4.18.
