The last time this has been reported, the cause was the reporter having
had an environment variable named LIB set.

Make sure not to have set LIB.

This doesn't make any sense, nor do I see how this is related to your
issue.

FYI: the canonicalization triple's meaning is <CPU>-<VENDOR>-<OS> 
i.e.
m68k-rtems is equivalent to m68k-unknown-rtems (CPU=m68k,
VENDOR=unknown, OS=rtems)

m68k-elf-rtems would mean CPU=m68k, VENDOR=elf, OS=rtems.

VENDOR here means board/HW vendor/manufacturer. With RTEMS, this field
is not used, so the actual value is meaningless.
