I don't think it's a code generation issue anyway, those are usually
fatal quite soon.

I still think it's the printf itself that's blocking after printing one
character. I still think the serial port is being written to somehow.
Even though the serial port may be present, if the handshake lines are
not enabled, the write to the port may block.

What happens if you put another printf ahead the current one, this time
with a different first character?
