I'm cc-ing Joel Sherrill, he has setup GCC tests for lots *-rtems
targets for GCC and those use heavily GDB simulators. His testing
process builds binutils, GDB and other stuff completely from source (I
believe his test framework is even commited and documented somewhere, in
addition to running on the compile farm :).

Sincerely,

Laurent
