You can only run C code when it has been linked for a specific address and is loaded at the correct address as it contains absolute addresses. We work around that in the decompressor by (ab)using the GOT table, and the code that fixes up the GOT table is run later, after you've called out to some C code here. Quite how this works for you without the GOT fixups having been done, I'm not sure. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up.
