Problems with building the EGCS cross compiler for RTEMS4.0 (fwd)

[Erwin.Rol at transtechnik.com (Erwin Rol)]

this problem occured to more ppl there is floating around
a patch to fix it. Dunno who made it. You can also fix it by searching
for the 
cp ../../src/gcc/gsyslimits.h include/syslimits.h; line
and put a mkdir include; infront of it.

Question to the RTEMS webside maintainer.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to make a FAQ and undate the rtems patches
to fix this problem. Cause if i look at the mailing list the same
questions are 
asked over and over.
