0x41007700 won't lead to clz, though, and ARM7/710 doesn't sound wrong
for an ARM7TDMI. If the support for other processors is still enabled,
head.S will ask CP15 for the ID. A plain ARM7TDMI doesn't have that
coprocessor and will most likey generate an exception. Do you have
CONFIG_CPU_CP15=y in your .config?
