This topic has been discuss on the list and it was decided these should 
not be in git. Lets please not rehash an old discussion that was clearly 
resolved.

It is unfortunate autoconf and automake is causing this. Given the 
problems building these specific tools and the fact we cannot upgrade to 
the latest automake, maybe after 4.11 is released we move to RTEMS 5.0 
and a new build system that removes this as a problem.
