No way. You need to manually write a Makefile.in or better (much easier)
write a Makefile.am.

Alternatively you can try to modify the linux-Makefile to to fit into
RTEMS source-tree. Something I would strongly discourage you from,
because IMNSHO, the Linux' kernel Makefiles are not really worth looking
into, to put it politely ;)]
