This is a warning in a very old version of gcc caused by some
reorganization.  Please update your tools and RTEMS source
to the latest 4.6.0 previews.

No.  It is definitely different.

When you link RTEMS applications, you have to provide more 
arguments to specify which BSP you are linking against.
See the Hello World example in the Getting Started manual.

It should include the "bin" directory.  The standard
location on Linux is /opt/rtems/bin.

Please see the RTEMS hello world example.
