If you are building/installing just the loader, do a full build/install 
world without setting CPUTYPE.  From my experience it seems like it is 
gcc that is being affected (when it is compiled with CPUTYPE set) and 
producing incorrect code for the loader, so a build/install world is 
necessary.  This may not help, but it narrows the problem.
