This could also be a floating point issue.  Most code compiled against
libc will try to "reset" the floating point state upon startup.  This
will cause a fault if you do not have a kernel floating point emulator
of some sort loaded to handle it.  (Even though init doesn't use any
floating point itself).  So as a quick test try building your kernel
with CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y
