Hi Ashok,
Yep I have definitely succeeded in building and booting on both
simulator and hardware the release that you have.
I used this toolchain:
https://www.ertos.nicta.com.au/downloads/i686-gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.3-2006-06-02.tar.gz
It unpacks into /opt
add the bin directory to your path and compile with
./tools/build.py machine=ia32_pc99 project=iguana wombat=True
toolprefix=i686-unknown-linux-gnu- simulate

Hope this helps,
