The problem is that the u-boot C runtime setup is insane and must be
fixed.  Fix the C runtime and the problem goes away.  The approach
being suggested here would have us *preserve* the insane C runtime and
actually depend on the runtime to remain insane in order to work.

Not a good approach.

The C runtime problem is solvable, but I didn't have the time or
resources to properly dig into it and I got frustrated before it was
fully debugged.
