Without reading the details of the original post, I may be able to help 
here. Depending on the platform, the runtime initialization may make use 
of the stack before/while entering NutInit. To reserve some RAM on the 
top, it may be required to inform the linker as well.
GNU AVR linker option --defsym,__stack=0x10FF
GNU ARM linker script section MEMORY (reducing the len parameter of the ram)
