FYI: I committed patches to CVS-HEAD, which (hopefully temporarily) 
disable libmisc/shell for unix/posix targets, applied the malloc part of 
Wei-Tsun Sun's patch and added some other changes to rtems-4.10/CVS-HEAD.

With these patches applied, the unix/posix BSP compiles for me on 
i386-pc-linux hosts. "hello" and "ticker" appear to be functional again 
(Of course, this is not a thorough test)
