Ok, fixed this in my code:
in jffs2_1pass.c @@ mkmodestr(unsigned long mode, char *str)
you'll find declaration
    static const char *l = "xwr";

Although this is per se correct, it is not needed in context and screws
up 'ls' in my case: Our u-boot is not placed in flash were it is located
to on compilation time. static const char * points into flash space at
some not properly initialized flash space. After modifying to
    char *l = "xwr";
output of access rights is fine now:
 drwxr-xr-x        0 Tue Oct 21 11:08:17 2008 10
 -rwxr-xr-x   262144 Thu Jan 01 00:00:33 1970 u-boot.bin
 drwxr-xr-x        0 Tue Oct 21 11:08:32 2008 1
 drwxr-xr-x        0 Tue Oct 21 11:00:58 2008 2

(Still directories are listed multiple times)

Could we modify this declaration to my non-static version in the trunk?
