Problems building Gaisler's RTEMS 4.8 on Ubuntu x86_64

[Gerard]

I'm trying to set up the Gaisler toolchain for rtems 4.8.

The OS is Ubuntu Linux 10.10, the architecture is X86 64 bits.

I'm having some trouble trying to recompile the RTEMS source package
for a LEON3 computer.


These are the Gaisler packages that I'm using:

Toolchain :  sparc-rtems-4.8-gcc-4.2.4-1.1.2-linux.tar.bz2
Source: rtems-4.8-1.1.2-src.tar.bz2

I'm using GNU Autoconf ver. 2.63, and GNU Automake ver. 1.10.2 .

I had to install the package libc6-dev-i386 in order to run the
compiler and the rest toolchain executables.
After installing that package I was able to successfully run the
following steps of the recompilation process:

# cd /usr/rtems-4.8/src
# make veryclean
# make bootstrap
# make configure

After that, "make compile" fails like this:

Line 3355 of the configure file in cpukit is in the middle of the
following fragment:

if test x"${enable_rtems_debug}" = x"yes"

cat >>confdefs.h <<_ACEOF
#define RTEMS_DEBUG 1
_ACEOF
; then :

fi

Where the "then" doesn't seem to be in the right place.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Can it be that there are
some dependencies missing? Maybe I should use some other version
of autoconf/automake? Maybe some other package that I need to install?

Thanks!
