I'm trying to get the FreeRTOS lpc2106 demo application compiled in
Eclipse. I didn't change much to the demo files. Since I am trying to
get it to work on an lpc2292, the memory sizes were changed.

This is the error I got:

I can only test using GNUARM and YAGARTO, but if I go into the
ARM7_LPC2106_GCC and use the batch files to build the code (as per the build
instructions), then I get the following output (note from the first line
this is the rom_thumb build):

It looks like you are using Windoze to build, can you try using YAGARTO?
