i didn't try the GCC-patches or `covtool', but had a coursory glance
at the source. the GCC-patches seem to be of good quality, they add a
little overhead to the assembly-source to tally your array bounds. thus
your code gets bigger. you would have to patch up and compile GCC from
source to have an all new cross GCC for your platform. the documentation
is quite extensive. it lists limitations of the implementation (using
`goto', (set|long)jump(), function-pointers), but also specifically
lists ports to other architectures. i guess as long as there's a working
assembler, you get bounds-checking, and thassit!

seems you should try that stuff (and tell us about is :).
