Do you have the DOPIC config option set in uClibc?
I debugged around for a while after the same thing happend again on a
completely different build machine with another type of embedded system.
All they have in common is that they're both based on a PXA270. It turned
out that busybox actually dies on instructions built with (PLT) ending
up with the messages I described. With the option unset, everything is
just fine.

However, this option is set by default so I really wonder why nobody
else runs into this issue than me?

Maybe anybody with more in-depth knowledge about what actually happens
with PIC-only in conjunction with (PLT) assembly could enlighten me, I'd
appreciate that :)

Thanks,
Daniel
