to build the makefile (under the examples directory)by
choosing the compiler is i686-linux-pc-gnu-gcc (which
is for the synthetic target).
the build is done but when running anyone of the
example files, a segmentation fault message apears in
the command line tool.
2- I'm follow the procedure for building RedBoot and
build the redboot.bin successfully. But when i'm
trying to build the example files (by editing the
makefile with the compiler i386-elf-gcc) a message
appears in the command line tool telling that an error
in the bist() function in the main.c file .
