Cygwin on a PII platform
>Description:
Cross compiling *.c and *.s, for power-eabi, using GCC v3.2.2, running with Cygwin, it seems to work fine. The generated .ABS file is read by insight v5.3 (source level debugger), and can be downloaded into the target (wurz mpc555 board).

When added a *.cpp file to the project, the linker complains about ‘undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'’. This can be solved by adding the ‘-r’ option the de linker commands (according to the GCC user manual).
The generated .ABS can not be read by insight v5.3. It seems that the generated symbol table is not correct.
