OK, now I'm curious: what happens if you make the pf() pointer constant? This will (should) change it from an initialized variable in the .data
Haavard, Jerry, your both suggestions are very right, but you are missing an important point: I am talking about porting code to u-boot, libraries with hundreds of files, written and working in other environments - they can't be compiled in as is, and changing them is prohibitively inefficient.
