The error you see is the result of the configure script not having found
an appropriate "ar" for your target.

The cause seems to be you not having correctly having passed your
target's name to the configure script. From your initial mail:
> ../rtems-4.6.0/configure 
> --target=m68k --disable-posix --disable-networking
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This should have been --target=m68k-rtems

[The value passed to --target must match the "target-prefix" being used
for the target toolchain. The standard RTEMS-4.6 m68k toolchain uses
"m68k-rtems" and not "m68k".]

Bootstrap regenerates the auto*tool generated files. The tarball is
shipped with prebuilt auto*tool generated files, so there is not any
reason to run it.

No surprize, bootstrap has nothing to do with your problem.
