So you think it's a broken uClibc / busybox problem, not a compiler/binutils
problem?

I'm inclined to think that it's a toolchain issue since I can't build v2 on
my 32-bit system.  I don't know how to tell the difference, though.

Having the serial port continue working through the kernel on SimNow would
help, though.
