I have the same problem with a gcc 3.3 compiled kernel. The kernel itself
completely comes up, and I even can call a static shell (something like
init=/bin/sash), but as soon as glibc is involved, the mentioned crash
occurs. Just to make it clear: I am able to use the builtin functions of
that shell (like ls) and this works.

This is independend from the kernel version (2.4 and 2.5 behave all the
same). The function __canonicalize_funcptr_for_compare seems to be newly
introduced in libgcc with gcc 3.3, and seems to be the cause of this error.
