I download it from ftp://www.oarcorp.com as a whole addon-packages 20030120.

There are README and INSTALL file, but they are original file before proting to
rtems. That is to say, the library is proted to rtems, but the file not updated.
So I could find any messages about cross compiling in them. :(

I have tried these three methods and their mixture, but none would let me use the
library.Many errors,such as "undefined refference to stderr", would appear when
link application with this library.

And libtecla is in the same addon-packages with readline and ncurses.

yes, but how could I configure to correct this?

My addon-packages soure code is downloaded from:
ftp://www.oarcorp.com/pub/rtems/snapshots/
Named as "rtems-addon-packages-20030120.tar.bz2".
