Because, make descended into a directory and detected that there is
nothing to do for it. This is normal, and there is nothing wrong with it
(cf. below)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the message you seem to have missed (cf. below).

Now, just enter "gmake" or gmake RTEMS_BSP=pc386

But, attention: You have checked out the CVS trunk, which currently
contains the current unstable development version of RTEMS. 
It basically should be buildable and functional, but things can be
pretty volatile, can change rapidly and unexpectedly.

For the stable version, which is far less volatile than CVS-trunk, you
can check out the rtems-4-6-branch (cvs co -rrtems-4-6-branch).
