I've managed to solve my problem. I took a clean ramdisk (that came with the
ELDK) mount it , added my needed libs, devs and test apps , then generated
an ramdisk.img (using genext2fs) , compressed it and then created an uBoot
image file. The modified rootfs is now on my USB Flash stick and it works.
My USB Flash rootfs is loaded properly by the kernel and related to my
initial problem, to be more specific,  I've created a root filesystem on my
USB Flash stick where I added the xenomai dir (including /bin /lib
/include...) generated during the Xenomai (from the trunk) install and also
the devices rtheap rtp0... in the /dev directory of my FS. I also used the
proper libc-2.6 standard shared libraries so the dynamic linker does't send
a SIGSEGV anymore and  I am able now to run ./latency or ./cyclictest). I
don't receive SegFault anymore.

Thanks to all,
Cristian
