The following are issues for arm that are differences with x86:
	o unaligned access (which I think generates a SEGV, not BUS)
	o Different packing and alignment of data structures causing
	  mismatches between x86 and arm representations (x86 may
	  match external ones, while arm doesn't w/o __packed).
	o Characters are unsigned on arm and signed on i386.

You might want to try a ppp with symbols to see where it is dying.
