I wonder if it's calling the special code for "call-method" and "interpret" instead? Are you able to send me a DEBUG_CIF output for your Linux kernel boot against r732 or point me towards how you are booting the kernel so I can try myself?
Okay, I've been experimenting with the Debian Lenny SPARC netinst ISO at the same time and have found that what I suspected was the case. I've committed a fix at r733 which now gets the Milax boot further than the previous error (good), but now segfaults again (bad) :(
Interestingly enough, the Debian ISO now does a lot better. Partway through I get a lot of junk on the console, however if you leave it long enough then you get as far as this, although sometimes I get kernel panics before this point (I wonder if some MMU/CPU emulation is broken somewhere?)

Blue - can you confirm at your end?
