I just did some more tests. The error that caused the rtems_gxx_mutex_init failure did not run on on the pentium machine.

I attmpted to do the same test with gcc3.2 and newlib 1.10 (which is working for my application) and I got the same result (rtems_gxx_mutex_init).

If, however, I perform a test using one of my own applications (where I originally found the fault), if I include iostream I get the exception 6. My real application, however, does not include iostream anywhere in it and subsequently runs fine. 

If I use gcc3.2 with newlib 1.11, my application runs (however, I never include iostream anywhere)

If I use gcc3.2.2 with newlib 1.11, the application bloats from 462K to 621K and crashes with the exception 6. There is no change in my source whatsoever

I think that there may be two problems here. 

If you want me to run any more tests or sequences, let me know.
