Oliver:
Right, it seems that I mistransliterated the code in a hurry or confusion.
I notice that on prf.c *adx is a pointer to be assigned to s, whereas in
sys2.c uap->linkname is the pointer itself thas is assigned to u.u_dirp.l
So my initial transliteration was wrong as I was assigning *uap->linkname
instead of uap->linkname.
Reviewing the assembler you submitted I notice it looks almost like what you
wanted but for @rr2 instead of rr2 so it might have been the extra * I
wrongly added in front of the parenthesized & expression and the erroneously
placed parenthesis (which I also got wrong) the reason for not getting what
you wanted.
If on prf.c you have in printf
register unsigned int *adx;
char *s;
adx = &x1;
...
s = (char *) * adx;
and was recoded on WEGA in printfv
register unsigned *adx;
register char *s;
adx = x1;
...
s = (char *)(*(long *)adx & 0x7F00FFFF);
then maybe the right code on sys.c would be a change from
caddr_t u.u_dirp; /* char *, from param.h user.h */
register struct a {
char *target;
char *linkname;
} *uap;
...
u.u_dirp.l = (caddr_t) uap->linkname;
to
caddr_t u.u_dirp.l; /* char *, from param.h user.h */
register struct a {
char *target;
char *linkname;
} *uap;
...
u.u_dirp.l = (caddr_t) ) ((long *) uap->linkname & 0x7F00FFFF);
Note also the difference in parenthesis usage with what you said you had
tried on http://pofo.de/P8000/problems.php
u.u_dirp.l = (caddr_t)(((long)uap->linkname) & 0x7F00FFFF);
I fear that I was too tired when I wrote my previous posting and made two
many mistakes.
Anyway, the first step should be to check what prf.c generates as assembler
at these & lines when compiled. If it matches the sample code you mention you
have in other places then it means the same device was used to generate it
(which I would guess is the case) and then it should be a matter of thinking
clearly of what is being assigned. I do believe the surviving trace in prf.c
is the key to understanding the problem assembly code.

These opinions are mine and only mine. Hey man, I saw them first!
