The biggest problem you will have is dependancy on standard 
C libraries.  VxWorks supports most of these while rtlinux
only supports a very limited set of these (certainly most 
standard library stuff, IP, stdio, alloc, etc).

"Linux Kernel Internals" (ISBN 0-201-33143-8) has an appendix 
that discusses what C library functions are safe and supported in 
the kernel space.
