How are the interrupt routines written?

I can use __attribute__((interrupt_handler)) with our 4.2-8 Lite tools
without a problem:

cat >> test.c <<EOF
int __attribute__((interrupt_handler)) foo () {
  return 0;
}
EOF
m68k-elf-gcc -c test.c

test.o:     file format elf32-m68k
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <foo>:
foo():
   0:   4e56 0000       linkw %fp,#0
   4:   2f00            movel %d0,%sp at -
   6:   4280            clrl %d0
   8:   201f            movel %sp at +,%d0
   a:   4e5e            unlk %fp
   c:   4e73            rte

What problem are you seeing?

Cheers,
Carlos.
