Bob is right on with this suggestion - especially considering the board
you are using.

I just got of a project using the exact same board.  We used Verdix and
VxWorks as our environment ( a big help from both products).  As VxWorks
provides all the standard Unix/Posix stuff you would expect, and Verdix
provides all the interface libraries to that Posix stuff - such problems
were trivial for us.
