The -base portion is the target CPU independent part of the tool
installation.  For example, the documentation for gcc is the same
for all target gcc's.  You have to download a base and a target
specific RPM.  See

http://www.rtems.com/onlinedocs/releases/rtemsdocs-4.6.0/share/rtems/html/started/started00025.html

which gives the list for a sparc example.

And with a tip of the hat to Ralf, you can also use apt or
yum and greatly simplify the entire job.
