Ouch.  An out-of-tree port, and a prehistoric one at that.

U-Boot 1.1.6 is more than 5 years old.  In terms of software
development that was when saber-toothed tigers lurked behind each
other stack frame.  You do not want to use such old code.  Do yourself
(and us) a favour and update.

Also, GCC 4.3.x is probably not a clever choice on ARM.  If I remeber
correctly, it has tons of problems.s lurked behind each other stack

But your biggest problem is the out of tree code - we don't know it,
so how should we be able to help?

Best regards,
