You really are using a very old RTEMS.  I believe this is
the problem that was caused by a bad RAM module in the CVS
server in the spring/summer of 2000 which somewhat randomly
caused a bit to flip in files.  This was fixed in a patch
committed on 14 June 2000.  The "5" should be a "=" on
line 115.

http://www.rtems.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/rtems/c/src/lib/libbsp/i386/i386ex/startup/linkcmds.diff?r1=1.10&r2=1.11&f=u

Again you are using a very old version of RTEMS.

Also if you are not using this BSP, I suspect you need
to add a --enable-rtemsbsp=XXX to your configure command.
XXX is the only BSP you are interested in.
