Trouble initiating BSP

[Bill Gatliff]

Ralf:


Short answer: I'm now running RTEMS auto tools, and things now appear to 
be as they should be.  In particular, the bootstrap script runs without 
issuing any errors, and my make all runs to completion.

/me thinks again about Debian...

But hey, at least I'm back to cranking on RTEMS code!  :^)
