I think RTEMS itself should not be built as part of the tools.

You can't win. You are building BSPs that are not wanted, likely in a
configuration that isn't the users, and not being able to test on end user
hardware while doing it.  Best not to build them. Users expect to build
their own RTEMS and we need to encourage them to test and report.
