The issue is not actually allocating a local_table for an object type
which has a maximum value of 0. I cannot remember the exact workings of
the id values and the local_table. I might have changed the nature from
the pre-unlimited change. As you know the id's are an interesting game
where performance is most important.

---- CVS log ----
This change lets the unlimited and sp09 tests run on the posix Linux
BSP. A static local variable `null_local_table' has been added. This
variable is always set to NULL. The `**local_table' element of the
information structure is set to point to this variable earily in the
initialisation. If the object type has more than 0 elements the
`local_table' element is updated. All object types which have 0 elements
reference `null_local_table'. This change fixes the problem sp09 found
yet does not add any extra processing to the critical
`_Objects_Get_local_object' function.

rtems-rc-19990326-2.diff: Enhancements to autoconf support for librdbg
* autoconf-checks for AWK and RPCGEN
* disable librdbg if either AWK, RPCGEN or librdbg/$target_cpu
cannot be found
Yet some more modifications, I would recommend to be considered before
releasing a snapshot:
1. Cleanup to aclocal/
cvs rm -f aclocal/cygwin.m4
cvs rm -f aclocal/exeext.m4
They are neither used nor needed anymore, however they also don't
disturb (we use autoconf-2.13's AC_EXEEXT instead, now)
----------
2. rtems-rc-19990328-0.diff
Some (minor) bug-fixes:
* make/Templates/Makefile.inc.in: use the new installation directory
($(prefix)/ instead of $(prefix)/rtems/)
* c/src/exec/score/tools/generic/Makefile.am: added line to include local.am
* c/src/exec/score/tools/*/configure.in: added CVS Id header
----------
3. rtems-rc-19990328-1.diff
Enhancements and cleanups to autogen, rtems-polish.sh, configure.in etc.
* autogen: Use the file "VERSION" to detect RTEMS toplevel directory,
extended usage-message, use "find -print"
* c/update-tools/cipolish: New script to beautify configure.in scripts
* c/update-tools/rtems-polish.sh: Use the file "VERSION" to detect RTEMS
toplevel directory, extended usage-message, added variable for perl
scripts' subdirectory, use "find -print", cipolish support, new options
-ac -am -ci.
* aclocal/*.m4, configure.in: moved some AC_SUBST lines to aclocal/*.m4
(reduces size of configure.in
scripts, eases splitting configure.in scripts).
----------
Emmanuel Raguet <raguet@crf.canon.fr> to eliminate a problem
during the boot process on the pc386 BSP. On fast PC's the
calibration routine would hand.
There seems to be an ugly dependency between posix-headers and
libcsupport.

Apparently sys/utime.h is one of the posix headers and therefore gets
not installed (I suppose this is correct).
IMO, this probably indicates that sys/utime.h has to be moved to another
include subdirectory and should not be part of the posix-package.
[AFAIK, sys/*.h are system dependent headers, so why should it be a
posix-header? - Hmm]
With my most recent automake patch (automake II) we could even simplify more
files below make/, because the host-compiler related parts of those files
aren't used anymore :-.
Whatsoever, the patch below should fix this problem.
Note: This is a mere bug fix, it doesn't move any of the variables involved
to target.cfg nor does it try to eliminate any variable.
fix some problems encountered when reusing this driver on
a SPARC ERC32 based Tharsys board. He eliminted the need
for TX interrupts and added code that can optionally ensure that
the IP address is 32-bit aligned. He also fixed a handful of
problems that only occured because the 8 Mhz ERC32 was
enough slower than the 100 Mhz PPC603e that timing
issues in this driver were magnified.
description follows:
Description:
* automake for *all* tool subdirectories (Makefile.am, configure.in etc.)
* autogen now also considers CONFIG_HEADER (generates stamp-h.ins and
config.h.ins)
* c/src/tests/tools/generic/difftest and
c/src/tests/tools/generic/sorttimes generated by configure scripts
* c/update-tools/ampolish, beautifier for Makefile.ams, similar to
acpolish
* rtems-polish.sh added to c/update-tools/ + ampolish support
* New subdirectory ./automake, contains automake -Makefile fragments to
support RTEMS make "debug, debug_install, profile, profile_install" for
native Makefile.ams (== ignore these make targets).
* aclocal/rtems-top.m4's RTEMS_TOP now reads the automake makefile
variable VERSION from RTEMS ./VERSION file.
* ./configure.in uses the macros from aclocal + support for the tools'
configure scripts
Remarks:
* To run rtems-polish.sh, "cd <rtems-source-tree>;
./c/update-tools/rtems-polish.sh"
* AFAIS, now all native subdirectories are converted to automake (Please
drop me a note, if I forgot something).
* Unless you notice something fatal, IMO the time has come for a public
try (== snapshot). I do not intend to send more automake related patches
within, say 2 weeks, to give these patches time to settle and to give me
some time to think on how to continue.
* The patch assumes installation to the new main installation directory
[$(prefix)].
