This is a good question as it is missing from the documentation.

A quick command list is:

$ ../source-builder/sb-set-builder \
    --prefix=/opt/rtems/5 --log=i386.txt \
    5/rtems-i386
$ ../source-builder/sb-set-builder \
    --prefix=/opt/rtems/rsb/5 --log=i386-pc.txt \
    --target=i386-rtems5 --with-rtems-bsp=pc686 \
    --with-rtems-legacy-network 5/rtems-kernel

I welcome the testing and feedback.
