Ok, thanks for letting me know.

You can have a look at the changelog, I think the 1.1.99.17 introduced changes in the drvmgr API names, the changelog describe a way to update some of the changes:
     sed -e 's/rtems_drvmgr_dev_info/drvmgr_dev/g' \
         -e 's/rtems_drvmgr_bus_info/drvmgr_bus/g' \
         -e 's/rtems_drvmgr_drv_info/drvmgr_drv/g' \
         -e 's/rtems_drvmgr_/drvmgr_/g' -i FILE
The configuration (for example drvmgr_leon3_config.c) has changed too to avoid unnecessary malloc() calls during initialization.

Daniel
