Perfect, I can try this. So target "arm-sim" tells deja to use the arm
simulator. I was thinking gcc already came with a simulator and/or for some
reason, building gcc would also build the simulator. Now, I realize that
simulation is a debug/test function and so gcc should have nothing to do
with it. Thanks for clarifying this.

Dan, Ben,

Thanks for the info. Will definitely post what I find out.
