Nice. I wonder if this could then include the gcc/newlib library mix for that
BSP?
The hash generator could be added to `rtems-exe-info` without too much effort.
The toolkit can handle ELF object and archives out of the box and the code to
read a section into memory is somewhere in the `ra` tools so at hand.
Which ELF sections flags should be matched? Just executable, const, string etc?

Yes I would. Felix (gemini) and I are working at the moment to find why his
RTEMS 5 build is not working and this sort of enumeration would help. The
ability to label an RTEMS build in a simple non-invasive manner would help all
RTEMS deployments.

OK.

Thanks
