Those are not interrupt routine addresses, they are instructions. The
CPU executes the instruction at the vector location when an exception
occurs. In eCos the instructions we use just pick up an address from
[PC+32] and jump to it. So the interrupt vector addresses are in the
32 bytes following the hardware vectors.
