I might have spoken too soon about everything being OK.  The bootstrap 
and configure worked OK with the autotools I built, but the compile 
failed somewhere in pthreads.

I decided to use Ralf's prebuilt autotools, so I put them into my tools 
directory in /opt/rtems-4.10/bin

but after a ./bootstrap -c,

then ./bootstrap

It failed to find automake ( it was picking up the older RTEMS-4.7 
automake).

I then looked and there looked like a link file from automake-1.11 to 
automake, but I don't think lnk files work in msys.

I have copied automake-1.11 over to automake, and the same for 
aclocal-1.11 to aclocal.

This seems to have sorted the bootstrap out, now onto the configure and 
make...

I will let you know if I have any more issues.

regards,

Ian C.
