Thanks Stefano,
I didn't notice that difference until you pointed it out. Till now, I was under the assumption that both toolchains were (feature-wise) identical. And I *almost* sent a complaint letter to Linaro about this too ... Guess, I've got more to learn than I anticipated.
Sincerely, Abraham V.

The most evident cause here is that you use a -hf toolchain with support for hard float point. U-Boot does not support it: there is no need of it.
This is the reason why it works using Mentor's toolchain. Even if you use the Linaro's supplied with Ubuntu, it works.
Best regards, Stefano Babic
