Ok, that's the explanation. Maybe I should go the same route.

I think that the argc/argv processing is Ok. The problem is the crash at exit.

uClinux-dist version doesn't seem to use the value at all. The difference seems
to be in the Linux kernel. In NOMMU case the kernel passes argc in r0 but in
with-MMU case it seems to pass zero in r0. But I can't find the difference from
the sources. When I look at the kernel sources, it seems to always pass argc in
r0. But I'm afraid this is OT.
