Hi

Ilija, unfortunately, I have no LPC2468 too. That is Uwe's Kindler BSP
for the Embedded Artists LCP2468 OEM board. Mine Olimex LPC229X targets.
I'm sorry I cannot assist here too :-( But, I reported that I have no
problems with the previous GNU toolchains builds (4.6 based) on theB
AMT7TDMI-S targets from Olimex (all non-interactive USTL tests passed
smoothly in RedBoot+GDB environment).

And what's about the below (was it applied?)

  packages/hal/arm/lpc24xx/ea2468/current/ChangeLog
  2012-04-23  Nick Garnett  <nickg@ecoscentric.com>
  
  	* include/pkgconf/mlt_arm_lpc24xx_ea2468_rom.ldi:
  	* include/pkgconf/mlt_arm_lpc24xx_ea2468_ram.ldi: Relocate fixed
	vectors to 0x40000020. Previously, the HAL_VSR_GET/SET macros
	accessed the wrong locations and didn't have any effect; now
	both hardware and software have the same idea of where the VSR
	table is.
	NOTE: that this renders RAM applications built with this layout
	incompatible with RedBoot built with the old layout. A new
	RedBoot needs to be installed.

I have no ideas anymore :-(
