2013.06 issues with semi-hosting on Foundation Model w/ gcc - linaro-toolchain

21 Jun 2013


      Still having the issue of FM/semi-hosting not catching seg-faults using
2013.06.  With "aem-ve.specs", a fault seems to call main() repeatedly.
With "dimon.specs", FM hangs.  Any ideas how to properly compile/deal with
faults in semi-hosting mode?
thanks,
Rory
