Newbie Q: egcs-1.1.2 and newlib-1.8.1

[Jmills at TGA.com (John Mills)]

I am building RTEMS-4.0.0 under Linux-RH6.0 to target the SH-1 (with hope of
moving fairly easily to SH-2),
and I am failing the 'tools' build on an unfound 'include' directory. Two
patches for egcs-1.1b and most patches for newlib-1.8 failed, which may
account for my trouble. (I'm now moving back to the named versions).

Does anyone have comments on using the more recent versions? I have built
fully-functional 'gcc', 'g++', 'gdb', 'nm', 'size', 'run', etc. for
'sh-hms', based on the ecosSWtools-990319 and GNUPro sources, and
'newlib-1.8.1' with no [known] problems, and use them. Can I use these tools
on the RTEMS package?

Thanks for any general "newbie" advice, too.
