Just for some closure on this matter.

The problem was not related to the toolchain at all. It was due to a bug
in the kernel we are using: sometimes it incorrectly handles a page miss
as a page fault! I applied a patch (thanks to Grigori Tolstolytkin on
the linuxppc-embedded list) and hello world runs great from a 4.2.3 and
4.3.0 toolchain.

Cheers,
