bit_ada is designed to build a cross toolset for Ada (GNAT+RTEMS).  If you
are interested in neither RTEMS nor Ada, then you are looking at something
that is way too complicated for the job.  This toolset is based on gcc
2.8.1.

A better starting point for non-RTEMS, C/C++ cross toolsets is the
crossgcc FAQ for instructions along with a recent egcs release.  I would
guess that arm-elf or arm-coff are more appropriate targets for what you
are doing.

If you are interested in a cross Ada toolset, then not having an OS
underneath is going to limit the Ada language features available.
