Christiano,  

  You likely have built newlib incorrectly.  See newlib/configure.host.  The
default
is to define ARM_RDI_MONITOR which activates the Angel code. 

#       newlib_cflags="${newlib_cflags} -DARM_RDP_MONITOR"
        newlib_cflags="${newlib_cflags} -DARM_RDI_MONITOR"
        ;;

This means that instead of the SWI codes you are quoting above, you will get the
AngelSWI_Reason_xxx codes which follow.  The value for write is 0x5 which
matches
what sid is expecting.

  You should verify that you have not changed these lines and if so, you should
clean your newlib build and reconfigure/build again.
