hmm, this is strange. The only way I managed to build these boards
was with my patches applied and with a gcc that understands -msingle-pic-base et. all

Backing out all 3 patches did not help. Not with gcc 3.4.6, 4.4.5 or 4.5.2
so I am really lost why your gcc(of which I know nothing) works.

I suspect it is just plain luck that it works for you. If you add
-fno-jump-tables to your gcc, does it break?
