I couldn't find anything resembling a patch for sis on the devel mail list, 
nor in Git. I only found your last commits moving gdb from 7.11 to 7.12 but 
that's a lot more than just the address fix.

I'm actually looking for something that I can apply to the 4.11 RTEMS because 
that's what we're stuck with...
