Now I am a bit confused.  What check goes wrong in

Stack_check_Frame_pointer_in_range() at check.c:69 0x81180f6e
rtems_stack_checker_switch_extension() at check.c:276 0x81180f6e
_User_extensions_Thread_switch() at userextthreadswitch.c:41 0x8118cbaa
_Thread_Dispatch() at threaddispatch.c:128 0x8118bce6
_Thread_Enable_dispatch() at threaddispatch.c:59 0x8118bd5e
rtems_task_delete() at taskdelete.c:94 0x81189750
Init() at startup.c:241 0x81007840

?

In case the stack pointer is out of range, then I guess that the interrupt 
exception processing is broken.  It is hard to know what happens without an 
actual target.

Ok, 4.10 uses the old linker command files.  These symbols are only available 
in 4.11.
