It is easier to build with GNU C but it has been built using other 
toolsets including the Microtec and Sierra High C compiler.

The worst part is probably addressing the C library.  If you do not use
the POSIX threads api part of rtems (and stick to the RTEID based API),
minimum C library interaction is involved.  However the POSIX API requires
the RTEMS specific additions to the Cygnus newlib C library or you may be
stuck modifying the headers files with the C library you are using to
integrate POSIX threads, etc.
