It could be worser :)

This portion of the configure command probably is the culprit - It
is totally bogus.
Seeing '--rtemsbsp=powerpc powerpc' might indicate a quoting issue
in bit_rtems or it's *.cfgs.
It could be Solaris /bin/sh, which is known to be very "unique" wrt.
to shell quoting, but I'd guess on a typo somewhere.

This also is incorrect. Your build-host system should be something
like 'sun-sparc-solaris2.6'. This indicates that your PATH might be
setup incorrectly or that Sun's infamous fake-cc issue hits again:

Try to evaluate the result of `which gcc` and the result of `which
cc`, both are supposed to point to the Solaris 'gcc' and *not* to
'powerpc-rtems-gcc'.

Then configure RTEMS with 

CC=gcc <path-to>/rtems/configure [options] --target=powerpc-rtems
