The actual problem seems not to be an infinite loop, but rather a very
long loop.   IF you wait long enough, it will eventually work.  A
significant delay (i.e. assumed long loop) is also observed while
loading any module.  Something like 10 - 15 seconds for every module
that I'm loading during startup (ipv6, tulip, dmasound_pmac, ...)

The machine is completely frozen during that loop, not even the cursor
is blinking anymore.

compiling the kernel with gcc 2.95 or 3.0 removes those symptoms.

As I'm not seeing this, you may want to compare your .config to mine,
which is http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/config-2.6.0-test11-benh
