This has the look of an optimiser bug - quite frequent occurrence,
especially with older versions of gcc on ARM.  Suggest you try 
reducing the optimisation, eg. instead of -O2 try -Os, -O1 or -O0.
In the Makefile you can usually do something like so:

domain.o: CFLAGS += -O0

Most welcome!

I know of a small number of folks running debian, haven't heard any
horror stories.  The installer bootstraps via TFTP, so if you have
been through re-imaging that way, its fairly straightfoward to get
going.  Once the installer is running, its pretty much like installing
debian on a PC.
