As Thomas points out the version option helps.

I think the rtems_waf package should allow a default version to be 
specified on a per package basis so a package can default to the version 
it wants. If I do this I would remove the current guess which can break 
you in subtle ways.

Can you please raise a ticket, assign it to me and set the milestone to 
4.11? This should be resolved in 4.11 before it releases.
