The -msoft-float option was responsible to generate the illegal instructions.
I find that somewhat confusing: why does strchr() need floating point
operations? And why do they generate illegal instructions?

Now that this is solved, it crashes in printf(). Any hints how to track this
down?

One more problem: although I compile/link with -g, objcopy tells me that no
debugging information is available:
