Without looking at source, I would say that your RTEMS_CPU_MODEL is set
to the
name of the BSP (DL16) not the same of the CPU model (ATmeage128). 
Doublecheck
the dl16.cfg file in make/custom.

It might make a nice organizational aid but since no one has ever tried
doing
that I am prone to guess that something will depend upon libbsp/CPU/BSP
being
the structure.  So far, putting BSPs into CPU subdirectories has
prevented
clutter.  If you want, call the BSP starblade_dl16 and have the best of
both
worlds.  A more unique name and no worries of a subdirectory.
