There are known issues when using the attribute together with interwork, maybe just when optimization is enabled. The problems is known and there are patches in the gcc-bugzilla. As far as I know the patches are not included in gcc 4.1.1. The gcc-bugzilla provides further information. IRC the topic has been discussed in the GNUARM-yahoo-group and in this forum some time ago. I have mentioned some "workarounds" an this forum some days ago. This forum is not the best place for a question about the state of the gcc-development (better: gcc mailing-list). Martin Thomas

For example the compiler should generate instructions to "adjust" the
return-address when this attribute is used. See ARM technical manual
about return-addresses of exceptions.

Any chance to use __attribute__((interrupt("irq")) without workarounds? It is quite annoying took me a whole day to figure out that wrong code is generated.
