Thanks for following up on this. I have spent some time on perusing it, but didn't find the cause. What I noticed is that the behaviour was different now and then, which could indicate a memory 
configuration problem. After switching board the locking problem didn't occur again, so I will have to resume the debugging later.

I have another patch of adding the NGMP link script that I want to submit, but I think I have to clean it up. Almost the only thing that differs NGMP from the LEON3 BSP is the linking script and it 
seems to be possible to have two different BSP configurations for the same BSP code. I will have to investigate if its best to add a NGMP BSP configuration first.
