Purging chroot-autobuild/build/buildd/rtai-3.8.1

[Marcin Juszkiewicz (hrw)]

From README.INSTALL:

Notice also that this release is for use with:
- i386,
- x86_64,
- PPC.

So it looks like upstream never supported ARM machines. None of previous Ubuntu releases provided ARM packages of rtai.

[Marcin Juszkiewicz (hrw)]

Attached patch gets build a bit further but then it fails due to not being Thumb ready:
