Hardware: MikroTik rb493g, mips-softfloat-linux-gnu
Kernel: OpenWRT patches, version 3.10.4x/3.14.4/3.15.3.

Programs fail with SIGILL most of the time. If they are read (cat/md5sum) before executing they work OK.

Running with gdb reveals that after waiting 1-2 seconds and disassembling the instruction is OK. It seems that after a page fault the program is resumed before the page is actually read.

This does not happen if the program is in the internal NAND (only if it's in a microSD card/nbd).

Well, I can't help you there, but that smells a LOT like a caching problem, so
you need to talk to the OpenWRT people about it: their kernel patches have
some problems (current git kernels don't have rb493 support).
