You mention gcc 4.9.2 but RTEMS 4.10 used gcc 4.4.7. I doubt Gaisler has
pushed the tools past that.

You need to match the autoconf, automake, and other tools versions or
it won't work.

The compiler is failing to link a simple program during the configure probe.
Try compiling this by hand:

int main() {return 0;}

sparc-rtems4.10-gcc main.c

That is more or less what is failing at this point.
