In this case, when program counter reaches to the instruction ‘lwgp’:

The core raises the 0x02 exception:

It is to be noted that, the startup assembly file and the Makefile are configured correctly to define __global_pointer.

The following flag disables the GP usage, but results in worse code density:

Your advise is appreciated, thanks
