I think this makes sense.

Which toolchain are you using? Can you provide (also for the problem
below) your images/start_globalscale_mirabox.pbl compiled from an
unchanged tree (for example 3307e8)?

I'm 100% sure, this is wrong :-) You said you're using mvebu_defconfig
and just disabled some machines, right? So you have
CONFIG_PBL_RELOCATABLE=y and then hit the else branch in the check if
the image is in RAM?
