Looks like you're building with hardfloat and without kernel fpu emulation.

This will hang the boot process for some reason (I don't know why there
aren't any errors).

However i've seen this behaviour, and enabling the fpu emulation fixed
it. Softfloat might be a better alternative, but sometimes you need
binary compatibility which you'll (almost) get with the fpu emulation.
