Well, I think I've found your problem, and it wasn't the toolchain after
all! So much for laying the blame there :-). Although the confusion was
because our tools are of a different vintage. Can you try the attached
patch and rebuild your pci1 please? 

The problem was that without the ".set noreorder" the assembler was free to
put the jr before the lw. This caused a check (as described in the comment)
in hal_bus_error_vsr to fail.

Let me know if this works and I'll check it in here.
