RTEMS supports about 85% of POSIX 1003.1b and includes a port
of the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack.  That pretty closely matches 
EL/IX.  RTEMS has been ported to the TI C3x/4x and 62xx series
and there is a port underway to the Lucent 16000 DSPs.  

I would think that if the goal is to have functionality
in a timely manner, you would be better off porting RTEMS
to the desired architectures.  Given the code base you
have, this should not be difficult.  

Feel free to ask me questions about RTEMS. :)
