Ok, I finally succeeded in re-building RedBoot configured according to
Mark's advice (I added above three lines at the end of
$ECOS_REPOSITORY/packages/hal/arm/e7t/current/misc/redboot_ROM.ecm
before importing the latter).
The program I am working on can now be uploaded to the board by gdb and
started by issuing a cont command.
It does its job as expected, and then, at some point, the main function
of this program terminates. But then a sigtrap is raised:
==================================================================
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x000101bc in _exit (stat=1)
    at ../../../../../newlib-1.11.0/libgloss/arm/redboot-syscalls.c:54
54              __syscall(SYS_exit, stat);
==================================================================
Apparently, it is still the SWI 0x180001 instruction at __syscall in
redboot-crt0.S which causes the trap.
I checked the SWI vector: it loads the PC with address 0x0182023c. At
that address I could find the code defined at label software_interrupt
in $ECOS_REPOSITORY/packages/hal/arm/arch/current/src/vectors.S.
Why could the SWI not be executed ?
Is this a redboot or newlib configuration problem ?
How can I have the execution control to be given back smoothly to gdb ?
What about other syscalls ?

Thanks for any help or suggestion.

Pierre
