Aha, thanks. I installed GRUB directly from sid as a quick test to see
if that's the problem, and the same kernel has booted successfully, so
it seems that was the issue. I had previously been using GRUB
1.99-27+deb7u1 from wheezy.
Again for clarity, that's booting r250856 with your patches from the
glibc-bsd repo, and as I mentioned in my initial mail also with
non-free firmware drivers enabled (which shouldn't affect booting since
they're all modules in any case).
I've noticed you marked my added patches as "temporary" in Subversion.
While debugger.diff is definitely not required for Debian,
cc_version.diff is needed for a successful build. Without it, the
"Configured with" line in the output of "gcc -v" is included in the
detected gcc version, due to the presence of --with-pkgversion in the
gcc configure options in Debian.
Also, I'm uncertain if this thread would have been better posted as a
formal bug report. I initially didn't create one because the problem
didn't apply to any package version yet in the archive, but I'm keen to
follow proper communication channels within Debian, so please let me
know if that was an error.
Thanks again for your responses and for providing working patches. =)
I doubt it's useful having obtained a successful boot, but here's the
requested output from readelf (I'm not entirely certain what to look
for in it):
