Really? They ought to be in.

The standard procedure to re-generate them is to run ./bootstrap from
the toplevel of RTEMS' source-tree.

Note that the snapshots are using autoconf-2.52 and automake-1.5 (Joel
promised to put rpms on ftp://ftp.oarcorp.com)

If they were into RTEMS's source tree, this would not be a major deal.

However, IIRC, last time somebody was working on an or* port there were
major problems with the or-tool-chain being based on some outdated
version of the gnu-toolchain, and therefore the toolchain did not make
it into RTEMS's standard toolchain packages. 

As a consequence of this probably nobody tried to build this port since
then.

I am willing to assist you wrt. the autotools and integration into, but
can't actually perform any actual testing, due to personal time
constraints (I am a volunteer myself, being unpaid for RTEMS work and
having other obligations.).
