Just wanted to put a small update here; after some digging forcing the PP port to use only one CPU allows the bootup to succeed, with mixed success playing stuff back. There's also an indication that ROLOing the multi-processor PP image over a running system allows it to boot properly as well. All other GCC 4.9.4 targets tested so far (a couple m68k, non-PP ARM, mips, hosted mips, and even sh) appear to be operational. So from where I sit if we/I can figure out the cause of the PP data abort, this toolchain bump can proceed. I'm trying to analyze the 4.4.4 and 4.9.4 asm dumps to see if anything stands out, but it's slow (and eye-bleeding) going so far... (Needless to say, I'd welcome the help of someone who knows this hardware!)
