thanks Ralf,

I was missing an option in i386/pc386/configure.in

damn, this RTEMS is developing so fast. no more signs of configure.in in
snapshots anymore.

May I know how do the developers keep their working rtems platform
up-to-date with other developers?
do you use patches to update your snapshots? or is there an rtems CVS
server around?

I'm coding on rtems-4.5.0 using CVS, considering the major changes made
to rtems since then, whats the easiest way for me to migrate my platform
to latest rtems snapshot?
