The gensh*-interrupt handling works a little different from what is
used for other CPUs.

We assume a preset vector-table in ROM to copied into RAM at startup
and another vector table (RTEMS's vector table) to be merged into
this.

What do you mean? Does #pragma interrupt work or does your
application works?

For a very long time #pragma interrupt was broken for the sh (cf.
isp7032.h), and AFAIK still is (If having more than 1 #pragma
interrupt inside a source-file only the first ISR was treated as an
ISR, all subsequent ones were treated as functions=.

However, IIRC, since gcc-2.95.2 __attribute__(( interrupt ))
(syntax?) is reported to work.
