Yes, or that other machine has a different chipset with different
timing requirements on enabling Gate 20. I am strongly suspecting
that it may some how related to the video card I am using (on my

.. a major configuration cleanup
... major enhancement of automake support.
... and it contains a *major* breakthough:
Automake support for libchip and libmisc *LEAF* directories.
To implement this I have used several nasty tricks
* The basical trick is to wrap an old Makefile.in's contents into a
Makefile.am and still continue to use (i.e include) the old
*.cfg files.
* Replaced each INSTALL_IF_CHANGE and INSTALL_VARIANT with make
dependencies
* Add a gnu-make ifdef AUTOMAKE to main.cfg to avoid conflicts between
automake and RTEMS make rules
* Replaced each install:: and preinstall:: rule with make dependencies
* Replaced SUB_DIRS with SUBDIRS in all Makefile.ins (Automake
convention)
* Removed each manually added autoconf substitution which automake
performs automatically.
This is not yet full automake support, because using the temporary
installation directory, preinstallation in general and building variants
are in contradiction to automake's basic working principles ...
... the new Makefile.ams work still somewhat clumsy
... nevertheless they work (quite well).
WARNING:
At first glance this patch is small, but
* it affects the whole configuration system.
* it opens the road to introducing automake to all Makefile.ins
currently not being under automake control.
JOEL> Does this remove or add any files?
Both, all Makefile.ins below libchip and libmisc get replaced with
Makefile.ams.

+ Force CPU386 - This BSP was developed as part of the initial
port of RTEMS to the i386. This board has been unavailable
for a long time now.
+ GO32 - This BSP and some CPU code supported djgpp v1.x. This
version is now quite old. No one has stepped forward to
update the code to v2.x which may be technically impossible
anyway. More importantly, go32 has been superceded by the pc386 BSP.

The patch below actuallly consists of two patches:
1) moving librpc to c/src/librpc similar to what has been done to librtems++
2) reworked configure scripts, many safety and dependency checks added to
aclocal/*.m4 macros + configuration fixes.
To apply:
mkdir c/src/librpc
mkdir c/src/librpc/src
cp c/src/lib/librpc/*.c c/src/librpc/src
cp c/src/lib/librpc/Makefile.in c/src/librpc/src
mkdir c/src/librpc/include
mkdir c/src/librpc/include/rpc
cp c/src/lib/include/rpc/* c/src/librpc/include/rpc
patch -p1 < ../rtems-rc-19990820-7.diff
rm -rf c/src/lib/librpc
rm -rf c/src/lib/include/rpc
./autogen
The additional checks in aclocal/*m4 macros add rather restrictive, sometimes
unnecessarily restrictive constraints on the sequence of how macros can be
used in a configure.in script. Adding them has let my problems with some more
complicated configuration options vanish. Apparently some macros had not been
in the required order .

cdtest, but also at other locations:

I'm attaching a big patch for the ts_386ex BSP which adds and includes
the following:
1) Conversion to ELF format + minor code cleanups + documentation.
2) An Ada95 binding to FreeBSD sockets, based on Samuel Tardieu's
adasockets-0.1.3 package. This includes some sample applications.
3) Some Ada and C interfaces to add serial-port debugging to
programs. Comes with examples, too; the Ada one shows how
transparent adding the support can be. Note that Rosimildo sent me
the original C code.
The network stuff is not BSP specific, and could be added to your Ada
code collection. The debugging stuff is specific to the i386. Right
now, everything sits in my "tools" directory.

it is used like this in i386ex/start/start.S

start.S: movw $0xFFFB, SYM(i8259s_cache)
I am heading out the door. Any other ideas what could have tripped this?
This instruction appears in a .code16 section. In a .code16 section,
current versions of gas assume that all addresses are 16 bits unless
told otherwise.
If you change the line to
addr32 movw $0xFFFB, SYM(i8259s_cache)
then you will get a 32 bit address reference.
You may want to use addr32 only when NEW_GAS is defined.

The main topic is replacing the hard-coded values for HAS_MP and
HAS_RDBG in custom/*.cfg with per-bsp configuration-time autoconf checks
(This is the patch I had mentioned before earlier this week).
CHANGES
* HAS_MP removed from custom/*.cfg, replaced with configuration time
autoconf check
* HAS_RDBG removed from custom/*.cfg, replaced with configuration-time
autoconf check
* NEW: c/src/make/bsp.cfg.in, takes configuration-time checked per-bsp
values (i.e. HAS_MP, HAS_RDBG), gets installed as
$(prefix)/<bsp>/make/bsp.cfg
* NEW: default.cfg includes bsp.cfg - this change is backward
compatible.
* IMPORT_SRC: apply VPATH instead for ts_386ex/i386ex subdirectory
Makefile.ins
* HACK: a bug in acpolish mis-handles addtions to makefile variables
which are enclosed in gmake conditionals:
c/src/lib/libbsp/m68k/ods68302/start302/Makefile.in
* Apply inline_dir, HAS_MP and HAS_RDBG for avoiding configuration of
unneeded subdirectories in various configure.in files.
* Several minor changes in Makefile.ins and configure.ins, wrt. to the
order of including *.cfg and defining Makefile variables

bug report from David Decotigny <David.Decotigny@irisa.fr>:
During the last few days, I've been back working on RTEMS. Let me
remind you that RTEMS didn't boot on our (old) Dell P90 machines (ref:
PC 590) : we could only get a reboot out of them.
1/ The symptoms
---------------
Hopefully, the problem was rather deterministic. The stack couldn't be
written correctly : issueing one or more "push" would always push '0'
onto the stack. The way to solve this was to issue a "pop", such as
"pushl eax ; popl eax". After this "pop", the stack would be writeable
again.
BUT, it will be writable for 8 consecutive "push"s. After these 8
"push"s, the other "push"s are wrong again, and a blank push/pop is
needed.
Considering that the L1 cache lines of this pentium are 32 bytes long,
and that 8 long int are 32 bytes long too, it came to us that there
was a problem with the cache.
Actually, the bug of the push could be shown through memory accesses
directly : writing on an not-in-cache mem location would put 0 until
this mem location is accessed through a single "read". Then, the whole
cache line would be right again.
2/ The consequences
-------------------
Of course, that was the first thing that we've been able to observe ;)
RTEMS could not boot. Actually, when a "call" pushed 0 onto the stack,
the ret could only lead to raise an exception a bit later. Since, in
the early stage, the Interrupt vector points to 0, averything couldn't
get worse : triple fault + reboot.
3/ Explanation
--------------
This cache mechanism corruption only appeared after load_segment()
returned (through a jump). Investigating a bit further shows that this
appears /sometimes/ during the PICs initialization.
"Sometimes" proved to be "When writing something with the 4th bit of
%al set". That is "when writing 0x28 or 0xff" for example. Clearing
this bit would just make the things work right.
Actually, this isn't a bug in the proper PIC initialization (which is
quite academic). It came from the "delay" routine, which theoretically
does nothing but writing to an "inexistant" port (0xed), in order to
lose some time.
BUT, in the special case of our Dell P90, it appears that this 0xed
port does something cruel with the cache mechanism when its 4th bit
(aka bit 3 or 0x8) is set.
I didn't investigate this non-standard behaviour of the P90 any
further : I don't know if this is documented, or if it is just another
(known ?) bug of the early Pentiums. Just notice that we have 5 such
machines, and it has the same effect on the cache mechanism.

This patch is an addition to "The big-patch"
CHANGES:
* FIX: c/Makefile.am: bogus comment which changed the behavior of
c/Makefile.am removed
* FIX: make/custom/ts_i386ex.cfg did not set HAS_NETWORKING correctly
(Me thinks it might have been me who added this bogus setting :-).
* NEW: removing make targets get, protos, debug_install, profile_install
* NEW: replacing clobber with distclean
* NEW: Reimplement distclean and clean as reverse depth first make
targets (adaptation to automake's behavior)
* NEW: removing RCS_CLEAN from make distclean (tools/build/rcs_clean is
still in - remove it?)
* NEW: "$(RM) Makefile" added to make distclean (adaptation to
automake's behavior)
* NEW: "$(RM) config.cache config.log" to CLOBBER_ADDITIONS in
[lib|exec|tests]/Makefile.in (adaptation to automake's behavior)
* NEW: "$(CLEAN_PROTOS)" removed (Not used anywhere)
* NEW: binpatch.c moved from i386 bsp tools to tools/build (AFAIS,
binpatch is not specific to the pc386 BSP at all)
* NEW: AC_EXEEXT added to all configure scripts which contain AC_PROG_CC
(Cygwin support)
* NEW/Experimental: An experimental implementation of temporary
installation tree support in libbsp/i386/pc386/tools/Makefile.am, based
on dependency tracking with make, instead of applying INSTALL_CHANGE.
REMARK:
* This patch is small in size, but changes the behavior of "make
clean|distclean|clobber" basically.
* This patch does not alter building/compiling RTEMS, ie. there should
be no need to rerun all "make all" building tests.
KNOWN BUGS:
* make RTEMS_BSP="..." distclean in c/ runs "make distclean" in BSPs
subdirectories passed through RTEMS_BSP and in "c/." only, but does not
descend into other BSP subdirectories previously configured with
different settings of make RTEMS_BSP="...".
=> Workaround: always use the same setting of RTEMS_BSP when working
inside the build-tree.
* "make [distclean|clean]" do not clean subdirectories, which have been
configured at configuration time, but which are not used due to
make-time configuration (e.g. macros/networking/rdgb subdirectories).
This will problem will vanish by itself when migrating from make-time to
configuration-time configuration

A bug in acpolish made it into rtems-rc-19990709-0.diff, which
unfortunately affects all Makefile.ins:
* The maintainer mode conditional was erroniously applied to the
dependencies of "Makefile".
In case you already checked in rtems-rc-19990709-0.diff to CVS you have
to check in all Makefile.ins again after applying the patch below :).
Please apply the patch below as follows:
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19990709-1.diff
tools/update/rtems-polish.sh -ac
Note: There is no need to rerun your tests if you have used
--enable-maintainer-mode to configure RTEMS, because this patch converts
all Makefile.ins to the same settings as used for
--enable-maintainer-mode.

to move RTEMS more to automake/autoconf and GNU compliance.
Finally, here they are: the "big-patch" patches - merged into one big
patch (~1.5MB).
Sorry for the delay, but testing took much more time than I had expected
- esp. reworking the acpolish script triggered many more tiny issues
than I had expected (cf. below).
At least, now you've got something to spend your weekend with :-.
WARNINGS:
* I've gone a little (??) further than I had announced before.
* Several directories have been moved.
* Several files have been added and removed
* I have tested it with many BSPs/CPUs and a variety of permutiations of
configuration flags, but not with all.
* Most parts of the patch are automatically generated, however there are
many tiny manual modifications.
APPLYING THE PATCH:
./autogen -c
mkdir tools
mv c/src/exec/score/tools tools/cpu
mv c/build-tools tools/build
mv c/update-tools tools/update
patch -p1 -E < rtems-rc-19990709-0.diff
./autogen
If the patch doesn't apply to rtems-cvs, I would suggest that you should
try to apply it brute-force and then to run tools/update/rtems-polish.sh
-ac -am afterwards. A recursive diff between rtems-19990709 + patch and
rtems-cvs + patch then should report only a few dozen significant
changes to configuration files which need to be merged manually (IIRC, I
did not change any source files).
*** Attention: There are files to be removed, moved, copied and added
in/to CVS!
NEWS/CHANGES:
1. Configuration takes place in 3 stages: 1. per host (toplevel
configure script), 2. per target (c/configure), 3. per bsp
c/src/configure automatically triggered from ./configure and
c/Makefile.am.
2. Building of subdirectory c/ takes place in c/$(target_alias) for
cross-targets in c/ for native targets
3. Building of subdirectory c/src takes place in c/${target_alias}/<bsp>
for cross-targets, c/<bsp> for native targets
4. c/build-tools moved to tools/build
5. c/src/exec/score/cpu/tools moved to tools/cpu (=cpu-tools split out)
6. c/update-tools moved to tools/update
7. New subdirectory c/src/make, handles files from make/ on a per BSP
basis
8. Maintainer mode support: Ie. if configuring with
--enable-maintainer-mode disabled (the default), then tracking of many
dependencies will be disabled in Makefiles. Esp. many dependencies for
auto* generated files will be switched off in Makefiles. Ie. if not
using "--enable-maintainer-mode" many auto* generated files will not be
updated automatically, i.e. normal users should not be required to have
auto* tools anymore (untested).
9. Independent configuration scripts for / (toplevel), tools/build,
tools/cpu, tools/update, c/, c/src/, c/src/exec, c/src/lib, c/src/tests,
c/src/make
10. Automake support for all directories above and besides c/src
11. "preinstall" now is implemented as depth-first recursive make target
12. host compiled tools (exception bsp-tools) are accessed in location
in the build tree instead of inside the build-tree when building RTEMS.
13. RTEMS_ROOT and PROJECT_ROOT now point to directories inside the
build-tree - many tiny changes as consequence from this.
14. --with-cross-host support removed (offically announced obsolete by
cygnus)
15. Changing the order of building libraries below c/src/lib/
16. Former toplevel configure script broken into aclocal/*.m4 macros
17. Newlib now detected by configure macros, RTEMS_HAS_NEWLIB removed
from *cfg.
18. sptables.h now generated by autoconf
19. Rules for "mkinstalldirs temporary installation tree" moved from
c/Makefile to subdirectories.
20. Cpu-tools do not get installed.
21. FIX: Use ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS instead of ACLOCAL = -I ... in Makefile.ams
which are in directories with own configure scripts.
22. Hardcoding BSP names into libbsp/.../tools to avoid RTEMS_BSP get
overridden from the environment.
22. FIX: Handling of MP_PIECES in various Makefiles
23. FIX: Removing "::" rules from some Makefile.ins
24. FIX: File permission chaos: (-m 444 and -m 555 vs. -m 644 and -m
755) - Now all include files use -m 644.
25. Removed many gnumake-conditionals in Makefile.ins - Partially
replaced with automake-conditional, partially replaced with
conditionalized Makefile variables (... _yes_V)
26. Massively reworked acpolish: acpolish now parses Makefile.ins and
interprets parts of the Makefile.ins.
27. FIX: Some $(wildcard $(srcdir)/*.h) macros removed / replaced with
explicit lists of files in Makefile.ins.
28. FIX: Replacing MKLIB with RANLIB in Makefile.ins
29. HACK: Add preinstallation for pc386 specific
$(PROJECT_RELEASE)/BootImgs directory
... many more details, I can't recall
KNOWN BUGS:
1. make [debug|profile]_install do not do what they are promissing.
"make [debug|profile] install" does what "make [debug|profile]_install"
has been doing. Proposal: remove [debug|profile]_install
2. Dependencies between temporary installation tree and source tree are
not yet handled correctly.
3. Dependencies between temporary installation tree and source tree are
handled ineffencently (Using INSTALL_CHANGE instead of make
dependencies)
4. RTEMS_ROOT, PROJECT_ROOT, top_builddir, RTEMS_TOPdir now are
redundant.
5. The new configure scripts still are in their infancy. They contain
redundant checks and might still contain bugs, too.
6. RTEMS autoconf Makefile.ins use a mixture of configuration
information gathered in c/$(target_alias)/<bsp>/make and of information
collected from their configure scripts.
7. make dist is not fully functional
8. Subdirectory host-/build-/target- configure options (--target,
--host, --build) do not conform to Cygnus/GNU conventions.
9. Some RTEMS autoconf Makefile.in's makefile targets are not supported
in automake Makefile.ams/ins (e.g. get, clobber).
10. Some automake standard targets are not propagated from toplevel and
c/Makefile.am to autoconf subdirectories (eg. make dist).
11. rpcgen generated files are not part of the source-tree (Automake
conventions favor supplying generated files inside the source-tree,
however there is no support for rpcgen generated files in automake, cf.
yacc/lex support in automake).
12. RTEMS_HAS_RDBG handling is flaky. make/*.cfg use RTEMS_HAS_RDBG per
CPU, while librdb's sources can only be built per BSP. Raises the more
general question whether librdbg located correctly in the source-tree.
13. All make/*cfg files are configured per cpu, currently there is no
location to store per-bsp configuration information --> bsp.cfg, per
aconfig.h?
14. "make install" without having run "make all" beforehand does not
work.
15. handling of --enable-multiprocessing seems to be broken in
make/custom/*
16. Makefile.ins still exploit many gmake features.
17. File permisson chaos on libraries (no explict -m for
libraries/rels/etc).
18. mcp750 Makefiles are broken (Note: I *do* mean buggy - I am not
talking about "not-conforming to conventions", here :-).
19. Dependencies between configure scripts are not handled, eg. aborting
"make RTEMS_BSP=<bsp>" can leave the build-tree in an unusable state.
20. "make clean" does not delete <build-tree>/<bsp>. This is intentional
for now, because rerunning "make" after "make clean" requires an
explicit "make preinstall" afterwards now. This should be done
automatically, but doesn't work in this case for now. To work around
this problem <build-tree>/<bsp> is kept during "make clean" for now
(HACK).
TODO:
1. split out host-compiled bsp-tools
2. Use Cygnus/GNU standards for cross-compiling target-subdir
(CC=CC_FOR_TARGET .. configure --host=${target_alias}
--build=`config.guess'}), to be added to toplevel configure script after
splitting out bsp-tools.
3. Exploit per cpu support directory (c/src/<cpu>)- Splitting out
per-cpu libraries - Are there any?
4. Further automake support
5. Converting subdirectories into standalone / self-contained
subdirectories (Esp. moving their headers to the same common root as
their sources, eg. mv lib/include/rtems++
lib/librtems++/include/rtems++) - This is the main obstacle which
prevents moving further towards automake.
6. Propagating values from *.cfg into Makefiles instead of propagating
them at make time via Makefile-fragments (i.e. try to avoid using
*.cfg).
7. Testing on cygwin host (I *do* expect cygwin specific problems).
8. The ARCH in o-$(ARCH)-$(VARIANT) build-subdirectories is not needed
anymore.
GENERAL ISSUES:
1. Temporary installation tree -- Ian and I seem to disagree basically.
Though I think that I understand his argumentation, I do not share it.
IMO, his way of using the buildtree is mis-using the build-tree, relying
on an inofficial feature of RTEMS's current implementation, which
doesn't even work correctly in the current build-tree, though it
attempts hard to do so. From my very POV, it unnecessarily complicates
the structures of the source- and build-trees. It is not supported by
automake (No automatic generation for the necessary rules) and
complicates the transition to automake significantly (Generating the
rules with an enhanced version of acpolish could be possible).
As Ian correctly pointed out, here a management decision is needed -
though I don't see the need to draw this decision in short terms.
2. preinstallation generally is a sure means to spoil the structure of
the source tree, IMHO (No ranting intended, I am completly serious about
this one). eg. through tree dependencies. The worst problem related to
this I have found in the meantime is bsp_specs. bsp_specs is part of
libbsp, ie. there is *no* way to build *any* part of the source tree
*without* having a BSP *preinstalled*.
Note: This issue is related to issue 1., but is not identical - The
difference is the change of the order make rules have to be triggered.
While preinstallation triggers rules spread all over the source tree
before a "make all" can be run, a temporary installation tree could also
be installed by post "make all" hooks (all-local:, to be run after make
all in a directory is completed) if the directories' dependencies would
be a tree,
3. Stuctural dependencies between subdirectories.
4. Depth of the source tree (Prevents multilibbing and introduces many
unnecessary configure scripts).
5. per cpu vs. per bsp configuration (There are no real per-cpu parts
yets :-).
6. automake does not support $makefiles in AC_OUTPUT. Unlike before, we
now should try to avoid RTEMS_CHECK_MAKEFILE and to hard-code as much
paths to Makefiles as possible.
7. General redesign of the source tree
8. Main installation point - Changing it to ${prefix}/${target_alias}. ?
Besides item 8. (which is a must, IMHO), as far as I see most of them
can not be solved soon and will remain issues in the mid- to long-term
:-.
REMARKS:
* You (as the maintainer) should always use --enable-maintainer-mode
when building RTEMS to ensure that maintainer mode generated files (esp.
those in c/src/make) will be updated when make/* files have changed.
* Use @RTEMS_BSP@ in Makefile.ins and Makefile.ams below c/src/,
$(RTEMS_BSP) or ${RTEMS_BSP} will be overridden from environment
variables when using make RTEMS_BSP="....".
* c/src/make is a temporary cludge until configuration issues are
solved. At the moment it is configured per bsp, but contains
per-target/cpu info only. Its main purpose now is to circumvent
modifying make/*.cfg files, because I consider make/* to be frozen for
backward compatibilty.
* This patch should only affect configuration files. At least I do not
remember having touched any source files.
* To build the bare bsp you now need to mention it in --enable-rtemsbsp.
Example: building gensh1 and sh1/bare simultaneously:
../rtems-rc-19990709-1/configure --target=sh-rtems \
--enable-rtemsbsp="bare gensh1" \
--prefix=/tmp/rtems \
--enable-bare-cpu-cflags='-DMHZ=20 -m1
-DCPU_CONSOLE_DEVNAME=\"/dev/null\"' \
--enable-bare-cpu-model=sh7032 \
--enable-maintainer-mode \
--enable-cxx
make
make install
* The next steps in development would be to split out bsp-tools and then
to change to Cygnus/GNU canonicalization conventions for building the c/
subdirectory afterwards (i.e. many standard AC_*.m4 macros could be used
instead of customized versions)
FINAL REMARK:
The issues mentioned in the lists above sound much worser than the
situation actually is. Most of them are not specific to this patch, but
are also valid for the snapshot. I just wrote down what I came across
when working on the patch over the last few weeks.
I wouldn't be too surprised if you don't like the patch at the current
point in development. I am willing to discuss details and problems, I
also have no problem if you would post-pone applying this patch to times
after 4.1, but rejecting it as a whole for all times would be a false
management decision, IMHO.
Therefore I would suggest that you, if your time constaints allow it,
should at least play a little while with this patch to understand what
is going on and before drawing a decision on how to handle this
proposal. I know this patch is neither perfect nor complete, but I
consider it to be a major breakthrough. Don't be anxious because of the
size of the patch, the core of the patch is rather small, the size is
mainly the side effect of some systematic cleanups inside the Makefiles
(result of acpolish).
Feel free to ask if you encounter problems, if you don't understand
something or if you meet bugs - I am far from being perfect and am
prepared to answer them.

to move RTEMS more to automake/autoconf and GNU compliance.
Finally, here they are: the "big-patch" patches - merged into one big
patch (~1.5MB).
Sorry for the delay, but testing took much more time than I had expected
- esp. reworking the acpolish script triggered many more tiny issues
than I had expected (cf. below).
At least, now you've got something to spend your weekend with :-.
WARNINGS:
* I've gone a little (??) further than I had announced before.
* Several directories have been moved.
* Several files have been added and removed
* I have tested it with many BSPs/CPUs and a variety of permutiations of
configuration flags, but not with all.
* Most parts of the patch are automatically generated, however there are
many tiny manual modifications.
APPLYING THE PATCH:
./autogen -c
mkdir tools
mv c/src/exec/score/tools tools/cpu
mv c/build-tools tools/build
mv c/update-tools tools/update
patch -p1 -E < rtems-rc-19990709-0.diff
./autogen
If the patch doesn't apply to rtems-cvs, I would suggest that you should
try to apply it brute-force and then to run tools/update/rtems-polish.sh
-ac -am afterwards. A recursive diff between rtems-19990709 + patch and
rtems-cvs + patch then should report only a few dozen significant
changes to configuration files which need to be merged manually (IIRC, I
did not change any source files).
*** Attention: There are files to be removed, moved, copied and added
in/to CVS!
NEWS/CHANGES:
1. Configuration takes place in 3 stages: 1. per host (toplevel
configure script), 2. per target (c/configure), 3. per bsp
c/src/configure automatically triggered from ./configure and
c/Makefile.am.
2. Building of subdirectory c/ takes place in c/$(target_alias) for
cross-targets in c/ for native targets
3. Building of subdirectory c/src takes place in c/${target_alias}/<bsp>
for cross-targets, c/<bsp> for native targets
4. c/build-tools moved to tools/build
5. c/src/exec/score/cpu/tools moved to tools/cpu (=cpu-tools split out)
6. c/update-tools moved to tools/update
7. New subdirectory c/src/make, handles files from make/ on a per BSP
basis
8. Maintainer mode support: Ie. if configuring with
--enable-maintainer-mode disabled (the default), then tracking of many
dependencies will be disabled in Makefiles. Esp. many dependencies for
auto* generated files will be switched off in Makefiles. Ie. if not
using "--enable-maintainer-mode" many auto* generated files will not be
updated automatically, i.e. normal users should not be required to have
auto* tools anymore (untested).
9. Independent configuration scripts for / (toplevel), tools/build,
tools/cpu, tools/update, c/, c/src/, c/src/exec, c/src/lib, c/src/tests,
c/src/make
10. Automake support for all directories above and besides c/src
11. "preinstall" now is implemented as depth-first recursive make target
12. host compiled tools (exception bsp-tools) are accessed in location
in the build tree instead of inside the build-tree when building RTEMS.
13. RTEMS_ROOT and PROJECT_ROOT now point to directories inside the
build-tree - many tiny changes as consequence from this.
14. --with-cross-host support removed (offically announced obsolete by
cygnus)
15. Changing the order of building libraries below c/src/lib/
16. Former toplevel configure script broken into aclocal/*.m4 macros
17. Newlib now detected by configure macros, RTEMS_HAS_NEWLIB removed
from *cfg.
18. sptables.h now generated by autoconf
19. Rules for "mkinstalldirs temporary installation tree" moved from
c/Makefile to subdirectories.
20. Cpu-tools do not get installed.
21. FIX: Use ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS instead of ACLOCAL = -I ... in Makefile.ams
which are in directories with own configure scripts.
22. Hardcoding BSP names into libbsp/.../tools to avoid RTEMS_BSP get
overridden from the environment.
22. FIX: Handling of MP_PIECES in various Makefiles
23. FIX: Removing "::" rules from some Makefile.ins
24. FIX: File permission chaos: (-m 444 and -m 555 vs. -m 644 and -m
755) - Now all include files use -m 644.
25. Removed many gnumake-conditionals in Makefile.ins - Partially
replaced with automake-conditional, partially replaced with
conditionalized Makefile variables (... _yes_V)
26. Massively reworked acpolish: acpolish now parses Makefile.ins and
interprets parts of the Makefile.ins.
27. FIX: Some $(wildcard $(srcdir)/*.h) macros removed / replaced with
explicit lists of files in Makefile.ins.
28. FIX: Replacing MKLIB with RANLIB in Makefile.ins
29. HACK: Add preinstallation for pc386 specific
$(PROJECT_RELEASE)/BootImgs directory

As work-around, I have reverted to the old behavior of RTEMS_TARGET_CPU_NAME,

Yep, I think I know what's going on.
AC_SUBST(RTEMS_CPU) is missing in configure.ins, thus @RTEMS_CPU@ in
target.cfg.in doesn't get substituted correctly, causing the bug above. Due
to the redundancy of RTEMS_CPU, other most BSPs don't seem to be affected.
Other similar problems probably exist for the unix/posix bsp and the hppa.1
cpu, because their */tools/*Makefile.ams require RTEMS_CPU, too.
