This has nothing to do with the autotools.

They only are the messenger of something being wrong with your setup.

OK, let's bring this fruitless discussion to an end:

run 
rpm -qa 'rtems-4.8-*powerpc*'

echo $PATH

and show us the results.

The magic is in c/src/make/configure

# grep NM c/src/make/configure
if test "${ac_cv_prog_NM+set}" = set; then
  if test -n "$NM"; then
  ac_cv_prog_NM="$NM" # Let the user override the test.
    ac_cv_prog_NM="${rtems_tool_prefix}nm"
  test -z "$ac_cv_prog_NM" && ac_cv_prog_NM=":"
NM=$ac_cv_prog_NM
if test -n "$NM"; then
  { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: $NM" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}$NM" >&6; }
NM!$NM$ac_delim
