The compiler should not be the problem (at least as long as you
are not targetting armv7 class processor).

If the lower 5 bits written to CPSR don't match valid modes,
most silicon will put another valid mode.  I can't say more, but
this is undocumented behaviour.  As an example (not tested
on realy HW), if you write 0 to the M field of CPSR it will get
translated of 0x10 = user mode. qemu doesn't do that, it just
aborts.

I don't get it, you said the kernel booted on real hardware...

Anyway according to your log your kernel is failing at its
very first instruction (pc = 0x8000).  Are you using a boot
loader?
