SDP 6.4.0; PPC board: Freescale 8572ds

While still evaluating this Freescale board, we have come across a trivial C++ construction that causes a SIGILL 
(illegal instruction) inside library target/qnx6/ppcbe/lib/libecpp.so.4

        static int  int1 = strlen( "Blah1" );

That line by itself inside a function causes a crash that looks like this:

     Process 3321871 (testit) terminated SIGILL code=1 fltno=1 
     ip=fe38b854(libecpp.so.4@__cxa_guard_release+0x24) mapaddr=0000b854. 
     ref=00000000
     Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Please see the attached note for a minimal piece of source code that causes the problem inside a "testit.cpp" file. The 
file is compiled this way:

   qcc -V4.2.4,gcc_ntoppc  -EB -DQNX -DQNX_ppc  -Y_ecpp -o testit testit.cpp

Interestingly, if the file is renamed to a .c file, then it works fine, even though the compilation reports a warning:

DOS>  qcc -V4.2.4,gcc_ntoppc -EB -DQNX -DQNX_ppc -Y_ecpp -o testc testc.c
testc.c: In function 'strlenInStatic':
testc.c:10: warning: initializer element is not constant
testc.c:10: warning: (near initialization for 'int1')

On x86 (running a few months old 6.4.0) there is no problem.

libecpp.so.4 library is probably compiled for a non-generic PPC processor. I disassembled libecpp.so.4 and found the 
instruction call to lwsync.
