	Andrew,

	I think that what you propose is to do:

CYG_ADDRESS workspace_end_int = (CYG_ADDRESS) workspace_end;
HAL_THREAD_INIT_CONTEXT(workspace_end_int,
			breakpoint, trampoline, 0);
workspace_end = (CYG_WORD*)workspace_end_int;

	I propose, to keep the macro useful in saving typing code, and to not
replicate the functionality of the last line of the macro; to change the
macro line:

register CYG_WORD* _sp_ = ((CYG_WORD*)((_sparg_) &~15));

into

register CYG_WORD* _sp_ = ((CYG_WORD*)((CYG_ADDRWORD)(_sparg_) &~15));

and get rid of the casting to (CYG_ADDRWORD) in main.

	I think this makes more sense, you cannot cast something to an int, and
expect to behave as l-value, the macro should receive a variable without
casting. On the other hand, you can always cast a r-value to int if
unsure of getting a real int or a pointer.

	Either way, it fixes the problem, and either make and gmake go well
now.

	Thank you very much Andrew.

David.
