I do not know if Jiri has changed the invocation of gcc but with the 
standard RTEMS tools you must pass in a few arguments to locate BSP 
specific .h files and libraries.  This is cut and pasted from an ERC32 
BSP build here.

-B/opt/rtems-4.6/sparc-rtems/erc32/lib/ -specs bsp_specs -qrtems

In addition, you might have forgotten CPU model CFLAGS like 
-mcpu=cypress and maybe -msoft-float if you don't have an FPU.

When you get this working, a Wiki entry on setting this up would be 
appreciated.  I also want to get to the point where anyone could easily 
demo Till's cexp/GeSys on a simulator like qemu using Eclipse to show 
off some of the nicer things with RTEMS.

I would also like to see demos of addons like MicroWindows running on 
qemu.

With a full set of demos on a standard simulated BSP, then anyone could 
easily demonstrate RTEMS and play.
