I solved the problem. I was building the YAFFS module on the target that 
unfortunately has no working RTC device yet. So the system clock is 
initialized to Dec, 31st 1969 every time system boots. I don't know why 
this caused this erroneous build (the yaffs.o file was built anyway but gcc 
warned about the clock skew).
Then I tried to build the module on the development host trough the 
cross-compiler ppc-linux-gcc (the source files are the same because I use a 
NFS to share the sources between the host and the target).
After building it this way, I can load it on the target without any problem.

Many thanks again for the help.
