then I assume that your changes to bsp.h do not make it to your
application binary. Which steps do you do after changing bsp.h? You
should be aware that c/src/lib/libsp/powerpc/gen83xx/include/bsp.h will
be copied to your "Install" directory (which may be at
/opt/rtems-4.10/powerpc-rtems4.10/gen83xx/*). And normally, an
application will use this copy. So changing bs.h in the source tree
without installing it ("make install") will not make the change visible
to the application.

Does this help?
