Description
This will require help from Anthony Green but we need to figure out the correct set of versions and patches to get a working moxie toolset. Some assembly changed and things have to be in sync.

Hesham dug into this a little. It looks like we need to get some recent commits made in gcc that update the opcodes there. The best solution seems to be to pull the patches out of gcc's git and put them into RSB to have it apply to gcc when building the moxie toolchain.

Where is a list of patches we need ?
Can the patches be used with a valid gcc release or do they require gcc from git ?

This is the set of patches [1] from 12-12-2014 until now. I tried to pull and apply them directly but they fail when applying to 4.9.2. Tried it manually but couldn't continue because it needs a lot of "manual" work. The second solution was to use a snapshot, the weird thing is it sometimes work and sometimes don't. When the toolchain was successfully built with this snapshot, it still raises an error when building RTEMS.

Thanks for the update. It looks like a snapshot is our best path forward.
Can you please post a patch for the RSB here for the snapshot and I will take a closer look. Thanks.

Patch to use gcc snapshot

I have found that updating binutils to 2.25 and fixing a typo in moxiesim/configure.ac is sufficient to get moxie building.
I am committing the typo fix but the change to binutils 2.25 needs a little discussion since we need to decide if all targets should go to 2.25.
