Question regarding RSB and open projects

[Ayushman Mishra]

I tested the environment ./source-builder/sb-check , it gave this
result: RTEMS Source Builder - Check, 6 (61dcadee0825)
Environment is ok
When I used ../source-builder/sb-set-builder
--prefix=/home/ayush/quickstart1/rtems/6 --target=sparc-rtems6
--with-rtems-bsp=erc32 --with-rtems-tests=yes 6/rtems-sparc , it
started rebuilding and installing rtems-sparc tool suite ( just like
it did with this ../source-builder/sb-set-builder
--prefix=$HOME/quick-start/rtems/5 5/rtems-sparc , and took same
amount of time to complete the process) but no erc32 bsp was installed
( bsp test said error: no executables supplied) , and using
6/rtems-kernel instead of 6/rtems-sparc it gives same Build error (pax
is missing) , right now rsb is only working properly for rtems5 and
not rtems6 on my system.
