Hi Ilija

I'd got some results for ARM7 CPU with new toolchain(s).

Host:   i686-pc-linux-gnu
CPU:    ARM7TDMI
Target: olpch2294 (OLIMEX LPC-H2294)

The 234 eCos tests (1183 checks) were passed on the target using a fresh
build of RedBoot with new toolchain.

  +--------------+------+---------------+------+-------------+
  | Toolchain 1) | PASS | NOTAPPLICABLE | FAIL | RedBoot+GDB |
  +--------------+------+---------------+------+-------------+
  | GCC 4.6.2 2) | 1173 | 10            | 0    | OK 4)       |   
  | GCC 4.6.2 3) | 1173 | 10            | 0    | OK 4)       |
  | GCC 4.6.3 3) | 1173 | 10            | 0    | OK 4)       |
  +--------------+------+---------------+------+-------------+

  ---
  1) Binutils 2.22, GCC 4.6, GDB 7.3.1 
  2) Distributed binaries (ecos-gnutools-20120125)
  3) Toolchain built from sources
  4) Used serial debug/diagnistic channel (UART0@230400)
     No issues with GDB break points, stepping, etc.

The eCos sources http://hg-pub.ecoscentric.com/ecos HG tip (changeset
3094:7595029fc92d) and applied attachment 1587 (bug 1001490).

NOTE: USTL bvt13, bvt17 tests were rejected from the batch run (they
expect a user input on cin) and bvt05 as it does not fit amount of RAM
on the target.
