+1
The libbsd needs to be built separately and the RTEMS configure needs
to have --disable-networking option.
You can also build libbsd from RSB with a similar command to the following:


../source-builder/sb-set-builder --prefix=$RTEMS_PREFIX
--host=powerpc-rtems5 --with-rtems-bsp=mvme2100 5/rtems-libbsd

Yes.
