Install the ELDK tools as per my document, and it'll
get installed for you. You'll want to install whatever
the latest version is ... ELDK-4.2 I think.

Great!

Its a binary for the development host (RHEL5), so it will
get installed with the ELDK.

As a bonus, once you boot a version of RTEMs built using their
toolset, you should be able to set the compiler tools to those
provided with the ELDK and build RTEMs with that toolset too.

Cheers,
Dave
