2. "make profile" doesn't work. It aborts when building host-tools
for embedded targets. I didn't yet have enough time to fix this
problem. AFAIS this problem is related to handling of
LDFLAGS_PROFILE[|_V] in gcc.cfg.in. For host applications, we use
gcc for linking host applications, too. With profiling enabled
CFLAGS_PROFILE_V contains -pg and is used to compile, but
LDFLAGS_PROFILE_V is empty, hence -pg will not be passed to the
linker causing gcc to fail to link, because it can't resolve some
symbols introduced by compiling with -pg.
I am not sure if I can provide a patch for this - Ether it is trivial
to fix or requires basic work on host configuration ;-
Fixing this one was trivial - But hard to trace.
LDFLAGS_PROFILE_V needs to contain the same flags as CFLAGS_PROFILE_V,
if gcc is used for linking (What else should have been expected ?,
:-). The same problem was present for *_DEBUG_V, but apparently wasn't
noticed by anybody, because things didn't break, but were silently
ignored.
I fixed these problems by setting these flags in configure.in whenever
gcc is reported to be the host-compiler. For non-gcc host compilers
"make debug" and "make profile" now becomes the same as an ordinary
"make". This is a hack and addressing this problen could be more
sophisticated, but I don't think it gives much sense to support
compile variants for any host program (Who will ever try to
profile/debug host tools?). Therefore I don't think it's useful
to invest more effort into this problem.

Here is another patch to hopefully enhance rtems' configuration.
Motivation: Try to support other c-compilers besides gcc (I tried to
build rtems under Solaris using sun's WSPro c-compiler).
Here is a couple of small patches concerning the host compiler
configuration, which fix/work-around the worst problems when using sun's
WSPro c-compiler.
Changes:
* Replaced make/compilers/gcc.cfg with make/compilers/gcc.cfg.in, ie.
gcc.cfg is generated by configure now.
* Removed a line containing a hard-coded "gcc" from gcc.cfg (BUG-fix).
* Add -g to host compiler flags only if configure reported -g to work
* Add -Wall to host compiler flags only if configure reported that the
host compiler is gcc (WSPro's cc chokes on -Wall).
* Some modifications to make/Makefile.in
* Adapted make/custom/default.cfg to the new location of gcc.cfg
BTW, gcc.cfg/gcc.cfg.in seems to be full of unused code (DEBUG-VARIANTS
etc.) which deserves to be cleaned up, IMO.
IMO, a similar patch should be applied to gcc-target-default.cfg
