Sadly I'm stuck on cywin which I'm sure could be causing some problems. 
Am also using an eCosCentric version to get C++ exception support which 
also may be the issue, however am sadly long out of our support period, 
so having to go it alone ;)

Stupidly didn't think of looking at what was in current CVS. Have made a 
version of that file with the eCosCentric __EH_FRAME_BEGIN__ haced in 
and it links time to test whether it works.

Thanks for your help,

Will
