RedBoot? (ARM newlib build)

I think part of the answer to the question I asked yesterday, is that
the default arm build of newlib assumes RedBoot routines to be present.
Related questions:
1. Is there a simple way to build without it?
2. (Somewhat off-topic.) Should I port RedBoot to my platform? Do you
think it would be worth the effort, or would it be simpler to
write a custom loader + my own versions of the low-level I/O
routines (using existing sourcecode when possible)? Note that I
don't expect to need gdb support or a command line interface, as
I'll be using a BDI2000 for debug support etc.. What I do need is
some kind of a loader that will move my application from flash to
memory and execute it. I might also want native flash update
support in the future, although I can use the BDI2000 for that
purpose, too.
