How do you get to main? by single stepping? Breakpoint?
Put breakpoint on hal_system_init() . That's an early breakpoint and
will give you chance to step through system booting.

It is possible that your code has been optimised by GCC. Did you get
some warnings for unused variables from GCC? I assume you are writing to
some port, try to declare the port (variable) as volatile.

You simply reply to the e-mail (I assume that you do so). If you click
reply to all recipients than the mailing list address should appear as
either To or Cc. One thing that you should take care is to send only
plain text (no HTML).
