Hi! I still haven´t fixed the problem yet, but I can avoid the deadlock now.
It appears on the second swi instruction in
"initialise_monitor_handles" @ 0xZZZZ8fd0 (where 0xZZZZ0000) is the
adress, where my program is linked to) in 
 newlib-1.8.2/newlib/libc/sys/arm/syscalls.c

After the swi, the pc jumps back to the beginning of the instruction. This 
would happen forever, if I would´t set the pc to the next instruction.
The variable monitor_stdin is set to 3,  monitor_stout and monitor_stderr
are set to 33558724 a few instr. later. If I set them to 0 by hand, I can use 
->{} (Continue) to get to the breakpoint at main.

What can I do to make stdin, stdout and stderr make work correctly?

(To which mailing list does this message belong?)
