Thanks for posting this to the users list. :)

What command did you use with the RSB? I would have expected
to see the right autoconf and automake versions in this
directory.

More below.

Try these steps and let's see what we get.

type sparc-rtems4.11-gcc

Then compile this program ..put it in joel.c

==============
int main() {return 0;}
==============

sparc-rtems4.11-gcc joel.c

What's the output? It should compile just fine.

The RSB handles autoconf/automake as part of the RTEMS tools
if invoked correctly so I am a bit confused. We need the command
as shown above but if you did this much right, they should be
in your PATH.. so

autoconf --version
automake --version

This doesn't sound like something you should have done.

Try the above and post the results. I think RSB was invoked
with something minor wrong.
