sha@dude:~/dude/barebox/barebox git lg v2012.09.0..origin/master fs/ramfs.c
77322aa Treewide: remove address of the Free Software Foundation
ad6c28a ramfs: add symlink and readlink support

Both look harmless, so I don't think that the culprit is ramfs itself.

Sorry, no idea. The good news is that due to my compile tests all 544
commits at least should compile ;)

Do you have some specific command sequence to provoke this?

Sascha
