+=====
+
+Based on papyrus bsp which only really supports
+the PowerOpen ABI with an ELF assembler.
+
+For the multiprocessing tests to run, you must have a modified version of
+the PowerPC Simulator psim which supports an area of UNIX shared memory
+and UNIX semaphore mapped into the PowerPC address space.

+The location of the vectors file object is critical.
+
+From the comments at the head of vectors.s:
+
+ The issue with this file is getting it loaded at the right place.
+ The first vector MUST be at address 0x????0100.
+ How this is achieved is dependant on the tool chain.
+
+ However the basic mechanism for ELF assemblers is to create a
+ section called ".vectors", which will be loaded to an address
+ between 0x????0000 and 0x????0100 (inclusive) via a link script.
+
+ The basic mechanism for XCOFF assemblers is to place it in the
+ normal text section, and arrange for this file to be located
+ at an appropriate position on the linker command line.
+
+ The variable 'PPC_VECTOR_FILE_BASE' must be defined to be the
+ offset from 0x????0000 to the first location in the file. This
+ will usually be 0x0000 or 0x0100.
