Good idea. Many thanks. Will send in a bug report to GNU regarding compiler problems. 

	many thanks for your help.

Its probably a good idea to report a bug. For one of the files that
causes a crash, do the compile again, but add -save-temps. You will
then get some extra files generated. Goto
http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/query.cgi and create a new bug report
and attach the temp files.

I've not looked at the SH2 code before today.....

It looks like a better solution would be to add a new
CYGARC_SH_MOD_CAC. You can then make the HAL macros empty statements
and set the HAL_?CACHE_SIZE to 0. This will tell eCos you don't have a
cache. We can then add this to anoncvs.
