The function __attach_fixed() seems to raise the 0-pagefault. I would
suggest you to add some printf-statements into the loader/lib/runtime/main.c
file. Try first if you can add

  printf("HERE\n");

at the beginning of the main l4loader_init() function. If that works,
instrument __attach_fixed() to find out at which line the 0-PF is
generated.
