Debug RTEMS RTL using qemu-system-arm

[Peng Fan]

I use qemu and gdb to debug,  The following is the backtrace. and I found
that _POSIX_Keys_Allocate() returns NULL/0, is this correct? Any tips? I do
not know how to debug this, or there should be some shell configuration
when call rtems_shell_init?

Breakpoint 1, pthread_key_create (key=0x20b2c8,
    destructor=0x157d55 <rtems_shell_env_free>)
    at
../../../../../../rtems-new/c/src/../../cpukit/posix/src/keycreate.c:41
41  the_key = _POSIX_Keys_Allocate();
(gdb) bt
