[Cbe-oss-dev] MARS and SPU-GCC 4.6

Thankyou. That did indeed work. I transplanted it into my real
code, and although the elf files there have three segments, not
four, with .interrupt a part of the first (listed below), your
suggestion worked here too.

I did use a new version of newlib; version 1.18. This was a
default in a built script I found here:

https://github.com/HACKERCHANNEL/ps3chain

Which I edited for a gcc 4.6 snapshot, and ran with:

./buildit.sh spu

I've edited that script now to avoid building newlib, and
am waiting for the build to complete.

Many thanks again. I gather you were also responsible for
the -ffunction-sections etc. work on libgfortran.a Thanks
also for that, which is actually why I'm using a
recent spu-gcc.

Cheers,
Paul
