Can you confirm that you are using the older version of the mb-gcc tools
(`mb-gcc -v` will probably report 2.95.4 or similar)?

If so, I recommend you update to the newer tools, released a couple of
weeks ago and available via the website.

In the older tools there were problems with the handling of long long
arguments and parameters to functions, which I suspect are being
triggered by the jffs2 code and/or df application.  This also manifested
itself in strange stats reporting by the ifconfig tool.

Refer to the following list posting for details on what is required for
using the new tools.  As long as you are using a reasonably recent
version of the kernel and uClinux-dist sources, it should require very
little effort:
