    You mean users building for a custom chip design and a BSP which
    is not
    integrated in the RTEMS Project?

Yes. Maybe that should not be our primary focus for RTEMS though.

    So far the rule was to use only multilib defined defines and CPU
    options
    in the cpukit. I am not sure what we should do to address issues like
    this. Maybe add CPU-specific CPU options?

We could turn on __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 define for the multilibs defined in GCC, but make it RTEMS specific? Please see attached GCC patch. This would take care of the mainstream users, and the other LEON3 users could enable the fix by adding the -D manually by specifying the target CFLAGS when doing RTEMS configure? I could live with that.

When building with the GCC patch it gives:

    daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon3 -mfix-gr712rc |grep TN0018
    #define __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 1
    daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon3 -mfix-ut700 |grep TN0018
    #define __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 1
    daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon3 -mfix-ut699 |grep TN0018
    #define __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 1
    daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon3  |grep TN0018     daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon  |grep TN0018
    daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$



This general pattern has forced some files to migrate from cpukit to libbsp/shared and be built with the BSP. The SPARC interrupt processing was moved during the
SMP development because it needed to know some distinction not allowed in
the cpukit.

I don't like adding this as a -D on the compile like but that doesn't leave a good home. I sure don't want to add a bsp specific configure option for something like
this.

Ok, makes sense. See above suggestion.
