 In CentOS 6.8, everything works fine.  But in CentOS 7, it does not.
 Initial investigation (I did a while back around New Year time) looks like
 later version of texinfo has an issue with autoconf.  Enclosed is the
 email Chris Johns replied but I didn't follow through since I switched to
 CentOS 6.8 for my work.

 "Looks to me like the RSB is trying to download autoconf 2.69-1 and from
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711297

 Looks like this autoconf version has a bug.  I also noticed my autoconf
 version is 2.69-11; however, from what I am reading, RSB will download its
 own version independent of what user has."

 Chris John replies:

 "I guess a recent texinfo version has exposed the issue. I suggest you get
 the patch from the link in the bug report, create a patch for rtems-
 tools.git to add the autoconf patch, then create a patch to the RSB adding
 the patch to the autoconf build, finally 'git send-email' the patches to
 devel at rtems.org for review."
