 A recent build sweep with RTEMS debug enabled shows a number of BSPs which
 fail to build all tests which do when RTEMS debug is disabled. The stance
 by the RTEMS Project to these failures needs to be formally decided. I see
 a few options:

 * Do nothing
 * Add them to .tcfg
 * Add a special mode for "fails in debug mode" to .tcfg

 I hate to see us with BSPs not building. This is just a bad thing to do.

 I hate to add them to .tcfg when they do link in normal build mode since
 this would reduce testing.

 The third option is the best but it would require adding another keyword
 to the .tcfg syntax and require modifying the processing of those files.
 But it seems like the best option.

 Comments welcomed.
