using Jonas and Jeppe's answers to my idiot questions in this forum,  
and Jeppe's startup code for the STM32F, I have FPC cross-compiling  
for the LM3S9B92, one of the TI Luminary processors. Getting  
interrupts working took some time. I think the next thing for me is to  
try calling the rom code from FPC. Then it should be possible to re- 
use all the library of C code supplied by TI and it will no longer be  
necessary to try and fathom lines such as:-

*((void (*)(void))(*(unsigned long *)0x2c)))();

which occurs in the USB example code :-)
I am not quite sure how to write that in FP, but I am sure someone  
will have an idea.
