Question regarding RSB and open projects

[Ayushman Mishra]

Thank-you very much for help and clarification , I think i didn't
bootstrap the source code last time because this time I did get
configure file which i then used for make and make install , this time
I used enable-test=samples option and  while using rtems-test on erc32
, 11 test were performed.
And for the error pax is missing , I install pax separately , but
sadly again got Build error ( this time error report was very
confusing).
