Thanks, that was the problem.  The entry point moved:

00040000 T hello_world

I suggest that you update the U-Boot Manual (specifically http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootStandalone) to tell people to always use the nm command to find the entry point.  That web page implies that compiling hello_world.c unmodified will always put the entry point at 40004.  The statement, "It's configured to run at address 0x00040004" is false.
