It works now. The bug was many years old and had been tested on a dozen platforms but the combination of new compiler and ARM found it, I guess. Something like this: short foo; char buf[4]; [...] *(unsigned long*)&buf[0] = 0L; If I'd hit this bug on a desktop gdb would have pointed me right at it, but I had to printf my way to it on PPC. Just my luck. There's at least one feature broken by the new tools, but it's probably something like the above: my code is old and originally written for a very slow 68K processor. I'm sure all will be working soon.
