Just wondering, after the problems we are currently experiencing with nios2. Those "bisected" as well to a commit associated with code which never executed. It turned out that the change in code size caused completely unrelated memory overwrites to be observed. Reverting the patch in question also seemed to "fix" the problem. Only, of course, that wasn't true. Maybe something similar is happening here ?
