I had a cross compiler working based on an older version of this:

Bear in mind that my embedded system is an ARM CPU with at least 16MB of 
RAM, so it runs Linux and is basically just a small footprint Linux 
distro. If you mean "bare metal", I haven't done that.

An RTOS does a lot more than manage threads. ;-)
