Damon,

You can comment (disable) the following assuming you don't need them:
OR1200_CFGR_IMPLEMENTED (this one most likely you don't need)
OR1200_TT_IMPLEMENTED (do you need tick timer?)
OR1200_CASE_DEFAULT (some case defaults will be removed, might confuse some
synthesis tools)

If you update your sources from the cvs, then you will also be able to
disable implementations of not needed exceptions. For deeply embedded
applications running firmware certain exceptions like alignment, illegal
instruction and bus error are not needed at all.

Also like Michael said you can remove multiplier if you don't needed. Right
now there is no define to disable multiplier. I can add one if there is
demand, and even beter is idea of simple small shifting multplier.

regards,
Damjan
