You can do this by editing base/src/catools/Makefile and renaming PROD_HOST to 
PROD and LIBRARY_HOST to LIBRARY, which will cause it to build those binaries 
for all configured architectures, including vxWorks and RTEMS if you're 
building them.  The vxWorks and RTEMS executables won't work, but the linux-
arm executables that you want should.
