Building RTEMS using non-standard compiler names

It is possible to use the --program-prefix= configure option to tell it
to use an alternative compiler I think. However you wont get too far
with this as the compiler libraries have to be patched and configured to
work with RTEMS. I have to build two sets of compilers for ColdFire/m68k
work one plain m68k-unknown-elf for standalone work and m68k-rtems-elf
for use with RTEMS.
