Nobody will be able to give a precise answer, because nobody knows your
toolchain.

1. The target name is powerpc-rtems4.8, not ppc-rtems.
It's unlikely this might have an impact on building rtems, but it's a
source to fool yourselves occasionally.

2. You are very likely using an rtems4.7 toolchain.
Check against contrib/crossrpms/patches on rtems-cvs trunk, if your
toolchains was being build with the latest newlib-rtems4.8 patches.
