  Did you try the 3.3.2 release?

  I just updated it to use the fixed build scripts. I rebuilt Newlib to 
pick up the interwork libs.

  BTW, I was reading my yesterday reply to your email. It shows up there:

---8<---
ISRs do not return with the bx instruction. ISRs restore the CPSR
saved in the link register (r14). This will preserve the mode the processor
was in before the interrupt.
--->8---

  This is obviously not correct. There is part of a sentence missing here. 
It should say "ISRs restore the CPSR and then the return address saved in 
the link register".

  Please keep me updated with your tribulations ;^)
