The machine/powerpc/setjmp.S file is probably only linked to powerPC port.
Thus, it's  probably OK.  However, setjmp() , when called, will trigger 
the error
message of :
"In BSP_exceptionHandler()
Uhuuuh, Exception 10 in unknown task???".
Using  sigsetjmp(buf, 1) did not solve the problem.  Thus,
I simply apply the patch from the newlib1.15.0, which I used for the
RTEMS4.8.0.  Perhaps, it was implemented wrongly in 4.8 , instead ?

I agree with you that the patch fixes the problem, but ties its function 
to architecture
specific.  At this point, I do remember reading about that 'setjmp' and 
'longjmp'
should be used carefully that there are  other more graceful ways to 
handle it.
This is my memory from last century that I guess I would have to dig 
into for
the more elegant solution........

Thanks a lot for your pointer.  Perhaps, it is better not to apply the 
patch so that
it does not add architecture specific patch......  Please advise.
