Oh doh! I should have noticed that before. The syntax in the .ldi file 
should be something more like:

    CYG_LABEL_DEFN(__heap1) = ALIGN (0x8);
    CYG_LABEL_DEFN(__heap2) = 0x108000; . = CYG_LABEL_DEFN(__heap2) + 
0x100000;
    SECTIONS_END
}

Where 0x108000 would be the address you would want the heap at (substitute 
in the value the heap memory you want to use is actually at) and 0x100000 
is the size, which should match the definition in the .h file.
