HP Jornada 720 with flashrom
Distro JLime-2010.1.conf
arch : Armv4

For the record, armv4 is not the same as armv4t, meaning you can for instance
run bx without any issue while I cannot. So saying that gcc 4.5 produces fine
binaries for your platform is not the same as that it should work on mine.

The issue Im seeing is directly after kernel hands over to sysinit I get 
a kernel panic "trying to kill init..". The following backtrace is nonspecific
and essentially says that it wasnt able to run the first binary (=init).

He built the combo gcc 4.4.2 + eglibc 2.12 for same machine using same
distro file and his works, mine doesnt (i got gcc 4.5).
