I am not sure about this issue and what is happening here. Where do the tools 
come from with a "different" release? Looking at the initial data posted my 
guess is a version 5 RSB was used to build a version 6 tools and then a version 
5 kernel was used with the version 6 tool and finally a version 5 `rtems-tools` 
build is expected to work with this. I see a slippery of what a _version_ 
change means?

Could the need for this change please be reviewed against the RSB and the 
recent changes to it to support `next`?

I also suggest a review of the `rtems.git` build system `configure` be made and 
if a version option is present there? If it is present I would like to see it 
removed.

Overriding a version when testing can be seem as simple however I think 
allowing a version to be overridden in a release is dangerous. We should look 
for better ways to manage _next_ revisions and I think  the recent RSB approach 
looks a better way.
