[uClibc]oops'es after ^C and kill and halt

Hi there.
I am having a peculiar behavior of busybox after I compiled my kernel
(linux-2.4.7-10 i386) with
gcc-3.1 and binutils-2.12 (same if I use uClibc-0.9.12 with toolchain from
20020711).
BTW I had to comment out the DISCARD section in arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S to
make that work.

What happens is that whenever I stop a process with ^C or kill there comes a
kernel oops and my process dies as well as the shell.
Does someone know (or have a guess) what is going wrong and how to fix it.
On beforehand thanx
Gusti

Here is a dump of the output:
