Btw. I'll try compiling with gcc4.6, as this was compiled with gcc4.2. This may cause problems too.
Using this switch will probably result in spontaneous reboots and/or system crashes. IIRC, Fremantle is built with mfloat-abi=softfp.

(Using -mfp=vfp is fine, as the OMAP supports that, and there have been no crashes reported from using the floating point unit. You may want to try -mfp=vfpv3 though, as we also apparently support that)

Side note - GCC 4.7.0 is available. Anyone up to try that?
