That message originates from the initHandlerAddrList() function in the
devLib library which has not been properly upgraded to support the PPC
architecture. However, looking in the source code I see that
initHandlerAddrList() is called in only one place, and that an ifdef has
been installed in devLib.c which presumably prevents it from being
called on PPC targets. See attached.

LOCAL int
vectorInUse(
unsigned       vectorNumber
)
{
	static int	init;
    int     	i;
    myISR		*psub;

#   if CPU_FAMILY == PPC
        return FALSE;
#   endif

	if(!init){
		initHandlerAddrList();
		init = TRUE;
	}
