Dear Sebastian,

Thanks, but no. Parts are of no use to us. Basicly you have to
options: have your code merged into mainline (to do that you have to
submit a complete set of patches here on the mailing list), or
maintain your out-of-tree port yourself (in which case David
Woodhouse's statement applies, see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.embedded/3534).

This works fine for the mainline code.

So eother it's an issue with your port, or with your toolchain.

Then this smells like a tool chain issue. You might contact
Pengutronix support for help with their tool chain.

Well, no such problems are observed with mainline code and - for
example - ELDK 5.5 and 5.4-M3-rc1. What makes you think it's a
mainline issue? Can you prove such problems with mainline code, and
with a known to be working tool chain?

Best regards,
