This one did not work.

This did work, however, I got an exception 13 after the device drivers 
loaded

It uses i386-rtems-g++ (I have attached the final link text)

What is interesting is that this did not occur until gcc3.2.1

In GCC3.2, my executables were substantially smaller, and this is why they didn't crash with the exception 6 -- they did not include the code -- unless I added the include <iostream> directive.  I don't have the directive anywhere in my code but it must still be including the iostream. Maybe there is a flag that allows me to not add it.
