Thank you very much for the provided information. I really appreciate
the degree of detailing in your post, so one can reproduce all steps.

Unfortunately, the Rasperry Pi support was broken in release 14.05. We
got aware of that fact at the end of July by a post on this list. Now,
we nightly test the Rasperry Pi platform, and things should work
properly. Please, switch to Genode's release 14.08. I'm afraid you'll
have to do some of the prepare steps again, but the build system will
warn you if this is the case. Also, please assure to do a 'make
cleanall' in your build directory after the upgrade, before you proceed
again.

Regards
Stefan

PS: I'm sorry, I've missed your previous mails about building for
Rasperry Pi, otherwise I would have warned you earlier
