I didn't before, but now I have made that change (moved the static
vars in timer.c to global_data and reference them via gd). But I get
the same behavior (freezing after printing "NAND: ").

Then I rebuilt my branch with the partial-linking patch applied, but
rebased on today's master, and now that fails in the same way.

So there's some low-level thing going on that unrelated changes in the
source code or build process seem to trigger. Different link order,
code placement, phase of moon, ...?

I have a JTAG setup, but so far I've only used it to re-load u-boot to
RAM after a flashing a bad image. If anyone can give me a clue how to
use it with gdb to debug what's going on, please let me know.
