Hi Jeff,

Thank you for replying to the post.

Current H8/300 implementation of function vector seems inappropriate. 
This patch fixes following problems from it.

1. Attribute syntax:
The function vector attribute is expected to accept one argument i.e. 
vector number. 

Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html#index-
calling-functions-through-the-function-vector-on-H8_002f300_002c-
M16C_002c-M32C-and-SH2A-processors-2525

However, with H8/300 target, it does not accept any argument and test case 
compilation fails with an error message:
error: wrong number of arguments specified for function_vector attribute

This patch fixes this problem.

2. Addressing mode support:
Currently, even for function vectors, GCC generates instruction 'jsr' 
in absolute addressing mode which is incorrect. Instead of that, it should be 
generating 'jsr' in indirect memory addressing mode (@@aa:8).

This patch fixes this problem as well.
