I think they enabbled this by default to do some kind of QA, because 
those textrels are forcing the dynamic linker to resolve some stuff 
which otherwise (without those textrels) isn't needed. And this results 
in longer load times.

Sidenote: My toolchain is reproducable, but that means you have to 
compile a Gentoo system, because Gentoo is a source only distribution. 
So it isn't as comfortable as using binary distributions (here), but it 
has other advantages.

Sorry, no. That thing has 2mm-header for the jtag and I don't have any 
prefabricated cable for that. Maybe someone else with binutils 2.20.1 
could check your V3. I don't know if I will find the time test your v3 
in the next days with some other hw where I can attach a jtag.
