[fpc-pascal] fpc & arm-embedded interrupts

[Jeppe Græsdal Johansen]

The easiest way to do interrupt processing in Cortex-M3 processors(which 
I assume you are using), is to create an interrupt vector table in SRAM 
and then change the NVIC to use that. That way you can point to the 
interrupt handlers at runtime.

It's true that the normal way of doing it is with weak linking as you 
write, but there's no support for that directly in FPC currently, so 
it'll have to be done with external assembly. It is doable, but noone 
has made it entirely yet.
