I ported in on MBX860 beginning of this year. New exception handling 
code for MPC8xx was a prerequiste as rgdb use exception to function. 
Moving all MPC8xx code to new exception sheme was quite a bit of work.

We had it working on MBX860 changing on a recent snapshot only one line of 

code. So please submit paches and I will check them (possibly in :-)). Please 

include a detailled comment for the patches please. I have very limited time 

to dedicate to this activity.


I've seen the problem on cygwin already reported. My guess is that it is 
due to compilation environment differnt than the one usually used (linux 
or Unix in general).
