This is a pretty generic problem: old software and new tools (or vice versa) don't mix. Please update your U-Boot code and use at least the vcersion thjat was included with ELDk 4.2, or - better - just jump to a current release. > I have not supplied any dumps, I could, but I was hoping someone would > have already seen the fault, fixed it and have a solution in their back > pockets.

One could invest the time and dig through the old change logs, but that time would be better invested in updating your U-Boot code. There are most probably other, not so easily visable problems lurking as well - the new compilers optimize much better, which for example requires a number of changes when accessing device registers (using I/O accessors with proper memory barriers instead of plain pointer accesses). The old code may simply not run, or not reliably. But all attempts trying to debug that are wasted time - more recent, fixed code is available, so please use that.
