Looks like your building in the source directory. Is this suppose to
work?

I always do:

mkdir build-powerpc-rtems
cd build-powerpc-rtems
../rtems/configure --target=powerpc-rtems ...

AFAIK, many GNU-style packages will not build in the source tree. RTEMS
might now be one of those since the switch to automake.
