Hi, thanks for the reply.
I found two files where CPU_PROVIDES_ISR_IS_IN_PROGRESS is defined:
/cpukit/score/cpu/powerpc/rtems/new-exceptions/cpu.h
/cpukit/score/cpu/powerpc/rtems/old_exceptions/cpu.h

The new-exceptions version defines it as FALSE, and the old-exceptions
version defines it as TRUE !!!!

So, not very conclusive as I am not sure which one is used in my RTEMS
build.

Nick
