Executing "make qemu O=../build PT=rv_vexpress_a15 E=hello" results in 
the following:

       Image size(s) in bytes:
                 bootstrap_hello.elf:  917888
       Start address: 0x81000000
       --> Build-Nr: 2
    QEmu-cmd: qemu-system-arm -kernel
    /home/neonum6/l4re-core-2014022818/src/build/images/bootstrap.elf
    -nographic -M vexpress-a15 -m 256


And soon after the log of the boot is exactly the one I posted before. I 
assume that what is in build/images/ is the right binary (bootstrap.elf 
is a symbolic link to 
build/pkg/bootstrap/server/src/OBJ-arm_armv7a/bootstrap.elf), should I 
check elsewhere?

ps: I tried to investigate about the status of the CPU registers using 
GDB, the info all-registers command returns always the same value for 
all the registers.

Regards,
Michele
