If you are not using the RTEMS build infrastructure then you are likely
not building a library for RTEMS but a relocatable file (-r).

I would highly recommend using the RTEMS build infrastructure to build 
RTEMS and then using whatever technique you want to build your 
application.  Stick to the known good make structure for RTEMS itself
and you will get two libraries -- one for RTEMS itself and one for the 
BSP.

You have introduced problems by not using the known good build procedure.
