Hi,   I am trying add usb gadget mass storage to uboot , and got run-time abortion  on usbmsd.c  with the default u-boot Os option. I use linaro 2011.03 4.5.3 version, and my trials as following:   1) During debugging , I found the abort exception in usbmsd_init_strings().  if declaring it with noinline function, like        static void usbmsd_init_strings (void) __attribute__((noinline));       it works, however, next steps still failed.   2)  compling uboot with O0, everyhing is ok.   3)  try other toolchain. It works with codesourcery's 2011.03-41 and ubuntu 4.5 version, while failed with 2011.04 4.5 linaro version.   4) I have dumped the obj files, seeming some funcs optimized ,analysing the details is out of my knowledge, :( .  please check the src and objdump files in one compressed file)
