The automake version in particular looks very old.  You want something
much newer like a 1.8 or 1.9 series.

You shuold also start with a newer set of binutils, newlib, gcc and
patches.  There has been some cleanup which necessitates working with
newer tools.

Also the configure command is rather short.  You want something like:

configure --target=sparc-rtems4.7

Since you are with Jiri, I assume you are actually interested in
all SPARC BSPs and wouldn't use the --enable-rtemsbsp=XXX option.
