You might check this site for articles and information:

I don't see any reason why you couldn't use linuxbios to start your own 
binary, compiled with gcc.  I would recommend using linux though, and 
something like busybox (http://www.busybox.net/) and uclibc 
(http://www.uclibc.org/) will keep it small.

I believe rtlinux is now a commercial product (?); you may not need it 
for a tightly controlled embedded system; maybe be a custom driver or 
two will do it.

Just some ideas.
