For the record: 
I am having strong doubts on the autotool related parts of this patch.

IMO, this patch's autotool parts are inappropriate/inacceptable for rtems-4.10
and need to be fundamentally reworked should for rtems-4.11, because these
patches
a) pollutes RTEMS_CANONICALIZE_TOOLS with a single testsuit's demands.
b) pulls in objdump 
This is a regression over previous versions of RTEMS, where we tried hard to
get rid of it.

c) the whole working priniciple to detect the output format is fragile.

d) Finally: "tar" is highly non-portable. It comes with nasty incompatibilities
hidden inside (c.f. --format in "man tar" and c.f. man pax)

Unfortunately, I won't have sufficient time left for further investigations
before ca. mid next week.
